Publisher Description
A weeklong vacation at a luxury villa in Jamaica—it's the invitation of a lifetime for a group of old college friends. All four women are desperate not just for a reunion but for an escape: Tina is drowning under the demands of mothering four young children. Allie is shattered by news that a genetic illness runs in her family. Savannah is carrying the secret of her husband's infidelity. And, finally, there's Pauline, who spares no expense to throw her wealthy husband an unforgettable thirty-fifth birthday celebration, hoping the fix their broken new marriage.
The week begins idyllically, filled with languorous days and late nights of drinking and laughter. But as a powerful hurricane bears down on the island, turmoil swirls inside the villa, forcing each of the women to reevaluate everything she knows about her friends—and herself.
