"I loved this book because it involved three of my most favorite things - vacation, with girlfriends, at the beach! The ending was great becuase it was very unpredictable. It was a huge surprise how this book ended. I would recommend this book to all of my girlfriends - past, present and future!"

Beach Trip Listener Reviews
-
" Somewhat predictable and slow moving at parts. Loved the end "
— Laura, 2/20/2014 -
" It was ok. Just when you thought a secret was going to be revealed, nope. But you knew something was going to happen so you keep reading, but in sure you will figure it out before the end! "
— Paula, 2/16/2014 -
" Great book with a twist at the end! Thanks, Becky, good recommendation. "
— Linda, 2/15/2014 -
" Too wordy, descriptive, etc. GET TO THE POINT! I lost interest -- read @ 38% of the book on my Kindle. Wasn't interested in reading anymore -- none of the characters were intriguing to me. "
— Madonna, 2/14/2014 -
" The ending is good and sad at the same time. Money power and a missing friend play in the ending. "
— Barbara, 1/19/2014 -
" This is a great "beach" read if you need some ideas on what to take to on your next vacation. Friendships, secrets, the beach, more secrets... this story made me want to call friends I haven't seen in years and schedule a "girl's week" as soon as possible. "
— Robin, 1/18/2014 -
" I wanted to read a book that I could get attached to the characters and submerge myself in their lives and story. This book delivered just that. It was a great beach read, not complicated, thought provoking and enjoyable with a few twists in the end. "
— Tracee, 12/31/2013 -
" I would have been happier if she did not move from past to current so quickly. Did not like the way she revealed things at the end of the book. I am very unhappy about a book choice when I am looking fwd to finishing it bc I am bored. "
— Erika, 12/26/2013 -
" Not a great book, but ok! "
— Holly, 12/16/2013 -
" I was surprised with the ending and expected a bit more of a Lola story. "
— Sue, 12/10/2013 -
" Read this one last week. Allright for this kind of a book. Kind of an interesting twist at the end. I had part of it figured out, but not all, and usually I figure what's going to happen. May be too old lady for you. They are like in their 40's with grown kids etc. "
— Dianne, 10/14/2013 -
" What a great book about four friends with different personalities coming together 25 years after college. Full of laughs, drama, and the dynamics of interpersonal relationships. The ending was a bit predictable - but really enjoyed this! "
— Candace, 10/13/2013 -
" 3 1/2 stars. Surprise ending for sure!! "
— Lisa, 8/23/2013 -
" Hmmm...what I learned from this book...and I loved the book...was to always know who you are and try to stay true to the person that you are...as long as that makes you fulfilled and happy. "
— Patty, 1/31/2013 -
" What a great "escape" book! Four old college pals get together 20-some years later for a beach holiday. Funny, sweet and sad. A great ride. "
— Pauline, 1/6/2013 -
" Actually really more of a 2.5 .... It is beach brain candy, but not even new for the genre. Nonetheless, itread quickly and easily even if I am already forgetting it. "
— Debra, 11/28/2012 -
" ok afternoon read "
— Kathleen, 10/16/2012 -

— Danielle, 6/28/2012 -
