Paradise isn’t
quite what it seems as four college friends meet for an island vacation
in this captivating new novel from the acclaimed author of These Girls.Following
a once-in-a-lifetime invitation, a group of old college friends leap at
the chance to bring their husbands for a week’s vacation at a private
villa in Jamaica to celebrate a former classmates' thirty-fifth
birthday.
All four women are desperate for a break and this seems like a perfect opportunity. Tina is drowning under the demands of mothering four young children. Allie needs to escape from the shattering news about an illness that runs in her family. Savannah is carrying the secret of her husband’s infidelity. And, finally, there’s Pauline, who spares no expense to throw her husband an unforgettable birthday celebration, hoping it will gloss over the cracks that have already formed in their new marriage.
The week begins idyllically, filled with languorous days and late nights of drinking and laughter. But as a hurricane approaches the island, turmoil builds, forcing each woman to re-evaluate everything she’s known about the others—and herself.

I just read, "Skipping A Beat" this week and it was amazing! I'm really looking forward to reading this one.
What's your W.O.W.?
