3.5 stars. Things are starting to fall apart for Ruthie. She may be losing her beloved job as a director of a local museum, her estranged husband wants to sell their beautiful Long Island home and her fifteen year old daughter is hanging out with a harsh new crowd of girls. The lovely town of Orient is trying to keep its laid-back culture in the face of an onslaught of glitzy new residents and Ruthie is hoping to hold onto everything she holds dear. This book is a fairly typical beach read with lots of drama and over the top characters. What I thought this book does really well, though, is get inside the head of a middle aged woman experiencing an identity crisis. Ruthie feels invisible and defenseless against the change going on around her and the intense rage she feels is just so, so relatable and real. I received a complimentary ARC of this book through the Bookishfirst program in exchange for an honest review.
