This book is out now.

This is my very first Mary Kay Andrews so I had no idea what to expect from her writing. All I knew in my head is that she is one of the queens of summer books and I thought it was women's fiction. Perhaps her other books gear towards women's fiction but I would say that this book is not that. It definitely would be a great summer read as this book as a little of everything - smidge of romance, a murder without being scary and friendships.

There was a lot happening with this book. At one point I wrote down at least 8 point of views/characters that we had heard from (unclear of what the exact number is). Usually when there are that many point of views I tend to get confused but somehow it worked. Each character had their own distinguished voice and we didn't linger too long on each which helped keep the story moving.

I had done the audio of this and Kathleen McInerney did an excellent job handling all the different characters. It is easy to get storylines confused when there is only one narrator taking on multiple POVs but because of how Andrews wrote it worked really well. Even though this clocked in at almost 15 hours, I felt like it went by rather quick. When I still had 2 hours left, I thought what more could happen at this poor hotel and then more does!

This would be a great pool side or beach reach for the summer if you are looking for something that has a little bit of everything!
