A Summer Affair


A Summer Affair by Elin Hilderbrand

Hilderbrand is a bestselling writer with an impressive list of titles so I thought I'd give her a try. This will most likely be the last novel I read by this author. I'm sure there's room in the bookstores for another title of the 40-somethings-growing-tired-of-marriage-thus-starting-affairs genre if it gives this tale a new spin. This book reads as you would expect it to. No surprises. No surprising insights into human nature. Sample line: "Daphne was like an unsightly piece of toilet paper that Claire had dragged out of the ladies' room on her high heel."

At least the main character's first love becomes a world-famous rock star. That's kind of fun.
