Kate, Jenny, and Aubrey are 3 friends who met their freshman year at a pseudo-Ivy League school in New England. The book spends time in the present as well as chronicling their freshman year. Something tragic happened at the end of that year and the three women end up going their separate ways. Twenty-two years later they are all back in the same college town and must deal with repercussions from that tragedy as well as present day decisions. This book has lots of twists and turns but I have to say that I did not find any of the characters likable and even the police chief was creepy. There was no one for me to root for and by the end I was kind of hoping all the characters would implode in a flaming heap. Alas, they did not. I felt sorry for the main characters' children, who are really just shadows in the story, but I pity those children for having the parents they do.

This book releases in May. I read an Advanced Reader Copy that was sent to the library district.

Deep Blue / Jules Barnard 286 p.
Deep Blue / Jules Barnard 286 p.
Here's the setup: Cali Morgan is a recent college grad with great prospects. She has been accepted into a top flight law program. She has a boyfriend, and a summer job. She opts to help her roommate get over her boyfriend that had just dumped her. She steers her towards her brother's friend, Jaeger. Jaeger has changed. But does Cali want to see Jaeger hook up with her roommate. Of course, she finds life has tossed her a curved ball. And she is attracted to Jaeger.
This had great potential. It was hard to slough through it, though.
First in the Blue Series. It is followed with Blue Crush and True Blue.
