This is a debut novel by Chip Cheek and it was a great story. It tells the story about a very young newlywed couple, Effie and Henry from Georgia, who have gone to Cape May in New Jersey for their honeymoon. Effie used to go there when she was younger and one of her relatives owns it.
As hey arrive in town the first day effie notices that no one was really around as it is no longer summer season there, but they still stay and get used t each other .
One night, they run into Clara, an old friend of Effie's cousin and she invites them to a party that introduces them to all kinds of things they have never been exposed to. Enough alcohol and time, puts them at ease, and days later, their lives are changed.
This book takes place in the 50's, in an exclusive place with many people who leave their beautiful homes in the winter for Florida. Clara is in residence at her family beach mansion, and her friend Max is there as well, along with his stepsister Alma. this book tells of the interactions of these characters and the end result.
I liked the way this author wrote an the descriptions of the places and homes. I loved the angst between all these people as well, and of course you will have to read to find out how it ends! I gave this book 5 stars!
