Synopsis

From the author of the summer hit It Happens in The Hamptons comes an unforgettable new novel about the women who live and love in the Hamptons.

In the Hamptons, no rules apply, especially in matters of money—and the heart…Raised in East Hampton, Caroline never thought she’d be one of the “city people” who spent summers and weekends at the beach. But, once her husband’s business takes off, a job stint transplants the couple permanently into Manhattan life—where the phrase When you marry for money, you work for it every day, reflects her neighbors’ lives. And where entitled husbands, like hers, embark on affair after affair with little consequence.Time for the wives to get even. When Caroline’s friend Annabelle suggests they experiment as their wayward mates have, Caroline resists at first. That is, until a scroll through an iPad makes her reconsider…and a pact between two friends is made.The agreement quickly turns serious when Caroline begins to confront the man her husband has become, or perhaps always has been. Will a summer affair give Caroline clarity or make her lose hold on the reins of her life? And, when an old lover returns, is she ready to risk all for a chance at happiness…

So the premise for this one sounded intriguing but unfortunately the characters and story just didn't end up working for me.

The best way to describe this is Gossip Girl meets Desperate Housewives. The author failed at the beginning to pull me in, but I stuck with it - mostly because I was on vacation and it was the last book left that I brought with me. The omniscient narrator begins the book with a separate chapter for......more

Goodreads review by Barbara on June 05, 2019

Is this chick lit, a mystery, or what? It’s not often you find a book that doesn’t necessarily fit into the usual genre descriptions, and this one fits the very large millionaire bill. I enjoyed the snarky descriptions of the uber-wealthy conspicuous consumption, but not the quid pro quo infidelity.......more
