I enjoyed the book more for the setting (Bethany Beach) than the actual storyline.

Cassie sees her brother-in-law kissing another woman at a party. When she confronts him, he denies it with a lame story about "a double" and Cassie decides to forget about it. After all, her sister, Cindy, is pregnant and Cassie doesn't want to cause trouble for her. But after the baby is born, their marriage disintegrates and Cindy brings the baby back home to the Spindrift, which is a bed-and-breakfast owned by their grandmother. Cassie wants to fix things for her sister, but her brother in law brushes her off. It seems the marriage is over. To make matter worse, her grandmother has decided to sell the Spindrift, which means Cassie will have to move. Her life just can't seem to gain any traction anymore.
