A beautiful, sultry debut novel by Chip Creek, Cape May, takes the reader back in time to a seaside town in 1975.
Effie and Hank are fresh out of high school and newly married. They travel to Cape May after the summer crowds have left to celebrate their honeymoon. Wanting to head back home early, they meet Clara ( a socialite), Max ( a wealthy wannabe writer), and Alma (Max's younger half sister). The trio welcome Effie and Hank into their group and that is when the story really begins. The days and nights are filled with fun, fueled by plenty of alcohol. The group turns the little seaside town into their own playland and nothing is off limits.
I was not immediately drawn to this book. It starts off very slow, however stick with it and you will not be disappointed. Also at under 250 pages, it is a quick read.
