This was selected as a “beach read” by an article in REAL
SIMPLE Magazine, June 2015 edition. My definition
of a beach read is something easily read and fun. That was true in this case. It was
a quick, easy, light read. The story
plot was easy. One husband cheats on wife. One young man cheats on young girl. Another
husband cheated on husband. Each pair of
characters in the story faced the same situation. They also overcame it.
The setting was in Mallorca, an island belonging to
Spain. It sounded beautiful and relaxing and now I want to visit.
The Post family has family vacations every year, but this
one will be tense. Mother and father,
brother and live-in girlfriend, sister and 2 close friends of mother decide to
spend 14 glorious days doing nothing but swimming, eating, reading and trying
to stay clear of their associated partners.
Franny and Jim Post are supposed to be celebrating their thirty-fifth
wedding anniversary. Instead they will
be deciding if they can overcome Jim’s infidelity. Sylvia is going away to college and having
her own sexual turmoil. Her brother
Bobby is bringing the girlfriend that no one likes and Franny’s friend Charles
will be there with his husband. Fun fun
fun.
