Book Overview

Nobody knows the Hamptons like Jodi Della Femina, who captures the inside world of love, society, and scandal in this delicious summer page-turner. Toni Fratelli has a busy summer ahead. After several setbacks in Manhattan force her to move home to East Hampton, her To Do list is full. She has to help her father run his popular Italian restaurant, start up her own catering company--and be the Maid of Honor at her best friend's wedding on the beach. Unfortunately for Toni, the groom's mother is a competitive socialite who'll stop at nothing to make sure her son doesn't marry a local girl. The biggest caterer in the Hamptons is trying to run her new business out of town. And worse than anything, she seems to be losing her best friend to a circle of snooty bridesmaids. At least Toni finds love. When she meets a sexy surfer named Chris, it quickly turns into the most romantic summer fling of her life. But there's more to Chris than his vintage Mustang and used guitar ... and Toni's going to like the truth. Before the end of the summer she'll be forced to face her hopes - and fears - as trying to forgive becomes her biggest challenge of all.

Customer Reviews

Great summer read!

This is a light, easy summer read. It is an engaging, humorous story about life, friendship, and romance in the Hamptons for a young caterer. Definitely a book to pass around to your girlfriends!

That was fun....

Ok - that was fun! My wife bought a copy, and I read it first. My only thought was that I should have saved it for the beach. Great summer read... and I have to admit, I am a sucker for books like this. It was quick and lively - and the characters seemed true to the setting (not that I have spent a lot of time at the Hamptons). Escapist? Maybe... but it seems spot on and timely given all that is going on... I recommend it.
