Same Beach, Next Year

Same Beach, Next Year by Dorothea Benton Frank Audio book 10 hours Book 374 pages

The Stanley family, Adam, Eliza and their twin boys Max and Luke, are the picture of familial perfection. Every year they go to the Isle of Palms and have a great time at their condo. One year a new family is introduced into their lives. Eve who is a former flame of Mr. Stanley and her husband and daughter. Well, where there are former flames there is usually trouble and this story is no different. Is the romance between Adam and Eve still there? Can the families' friendship withstand it if it is?

I enjoyed this book, the characters were believable and enjoyable. I usually don't like the trope of elderly people who say crazy things, but Cookie, Eve's mother did make me laugh with her outrageous lack of tact and discretion. This book went by really fast in a time flies when you're having fun kind of way. The dialogue flowed well and there was only 1 plot left dangling that I can think of, but it was a small one so it didn't ruin the story. Overall for people who like family fiction with lots of love and friendship I would recommend this book.
