It is hard believe this is a memoir, and if the truth is stretched a little, please, I don't want to know. This story sucks the reader in quite quickly.
The book is set in beautiful Cape Cod, MA, which is a character all its own with its sand, tides, seafood and salt-weathered locals. Young teen Rennie is being raised by an openly adulterous mother who enlists not just her help, but her support, in her emotional tryst with her husband's best friend, sans guilt.
The best friend, Ben, a life-long Cape Codder, with knowledge of nature, is charming in a outdoorsy way. His wife Lily, is none-the-wiser, about his affair with Malabar's husband, and Rennie's stepfather, Charlie.
The writing style is quick and smooth, allowing the read to dive deeply into the story and characters, with no tedious build-up.
