If you ever get the chance to pick up a book that has "P.S." on the bottom, right cover, be sure to pick it up and read the added information. I thought it added much to my enjoyment of the book by this author.
Joanna Howes grew up in Martha's Vineyard and went off to college and life in New York City. She works as a freelance writer and has achieved some stature in her calling. However, the man who helped raise her has fallen and broken his leg and needs her assistance and so she returns to Martha's Vineyard.
The author highlighted the amusing fact that there are two newspapers in MV, that seem to hate each other. This is a problem because Joanna easily gets a part-time job at one paper but cannot meet her bills with a single paycheck. So she manages to work concurrently on the other paper, without their knowledge. The trouble comes when each paper sends her to cover the same story.
Not satisfied with this growing problem, Joanna manages to get involved with the man who is stirring up the community with his helipad proposal and lawsuit. Keeping her identities separate and her relationships straight starts to take a toll on Joanna. This is an interesting situation with opportunities for gentle humor. This is a pleasant way to while away a few hours dreaming of Martha's Vineyard's locals versus the summer crowd.
