Exciting & Fun
Kenny Wright is always a solid read. The couple at the heart of this story are attractive but not so stellar as to seem not "like us." The inadvertent discovery that a neighbor and family friend is having a sexual relationship with another neighbor and friend both startles and energizes the couple. Hubby, of course, lurches between excitement and fear at the prospect of his own wife following suit. This is familiar territory for Wright, and he does it well. If you've read a Wright novella before, this will feel familiar, but it won't spoil the fun of watching the couple move from discovery to titillation to resolution.
This is apparently the first of several novellas about this suburban community. The shared setting could be enjoyable or a feels-forced artifice that ends up being more fun for Wright's cadre of writers than for us as readers. But in this first entry, Wright's community seems a promising hotbed of secrets with lots of bedrooms and poolside to explore.
