This was a nice enough little book - - I would have given it 2.5 stars if I could because it was halfway between "it was ok" and "I liked it" - - -but when you have trouble reading the last 2 chapters because the ending is so predictable, I just couldn't go any higher than two stars. Thayer does a nice job of exploring some of the frustrations of women in the work world and as mothers, and her description of "the lake" was definitely enticing. However, that was as far as this book went for me. Save your summer reading for another book. What a total disappointment from an author I've enjoyed before. Thayer used the same adjectives over and over...I swear if I read "lush" one more time I would have gagged. So many little details that added nothing to the story as well. I really don't care who showered and who sat next to whom. I found myself rolling my eyes over all the biohazard info. I mean really...no one talks like these characters do. Especially about biohazard and chemical engineering. The plot was way too trite, the characters unreal. Waste of time...
Another great book - loved that it took place in Amherst nd the surrounding communities.

An easy summer read. A nice way to get caught up in another life.

I felt the ending was rushed.
