Following the death of her mother, Sara Beth goes off the deep end, abandoning her friend at a New York City restaurant as they celebrate their fortieth birthdays and leaving her husband and small children in limbo. Recently widowed, Rachel is dealing with struggles of her own; the last thing she needs is to be ditched by her best friend at this important milestone and left to deal with her distraught husband. Fortunately, the mounted police officer who helps Rachel search for Sara Beth just might turn out to be more than another hot man in uniform.Exploring the themes of love, friendship, and the search for oneself, this book is a wonderful reminder of what matters most in life. Recommended!NOTE: I received a copy of this book for FREE in exchange for a written review.

An engaging chick lit. The premise was interesting and I enjoyed Rachel's story, even though Sara Beth's story provided the framework for the novel. I agree with other reviewers that Sara Beth really isn't too nice, rather a real whiner. There is justification for her friends's support, but it seems more of a contrivance to make the ending possible. Nonetheless, Rachel's story won me and I read the novel with great enjoyment. It's a great summer beach read.
