The Summer Getaway

I have Just One Kiss, Two of a Kind, and Three Little words by Mallery on my keeper shelf so I was looking forward to this summery hardcover. Unfortunately I gave up at page 246. I want my escapist reads to be happy distractions from the real world and this one had too much real world and not enough delight for me to finish it. Infidelity, childhood cancer, impending death, and a repeatedly immature and irritating adult daughter had me putting this one aside. If you want family drama this may be a good choice for you. If you want a melty, tears in your eyes romance take a pass.
