My getaway weekend also allowed me the chance to read another fun book: Josie Brown's Secret Lives of Husbands and Wives. I had read some feedback about the book that compared it to the show, Desperate Housewives, and I suppose to a certain extent there is a resemblance. On the outside, the book takes place in a wealthy, idyllic community, while below the surface the relationships are cutthroat and dysfunctional and couldn't be farther removed from their appearances. In this book, as so often happens in real life, you see how people create more harm to and problems for themselves and it is validating to see that in this story the most "normal" people triumph in the end. It is a fun and quick read and if you miss the souped up drama on Wisteria Lane, you'll no doubt savor this book.
