USE A BATHROOM.) But this is the kind of book that's really meant to be read on an airplane, or at the beach, or when you're cursed with a head cold, and if any of those things are true for you Summer Rental is a totally safe bet-enjoyable, predictable, and undemanding. Fans of Mary Kay Andrews will love the vintage furnishings and antique touches that are a favorite part of the MKA Collection of renovated Tybee Island beach cottages, including Ebbtide, a seven-bedroom home that sleeps up to 16, and Coquina Cottage, a 5 bedroom that sleeps 12. The Maryn plot line felt like a B-grade Lifetime movie, most of the characters seemed older than their ages, and Ellis's romantic interest is introduced urinating off a second-story deck, which instantly killed his allure for me. There's nothing terribly wrong with Andrews's novel, but there's nothing much memorable about it, either. All four women are struggling, but it's possible that a month away might give them the time, space, and emotional support they need to come up with a plan.
Maryn Shackleford is a total stranger, but subletting an unused room at the beach house sounds like the perfect place to hide from her abusive husband. Lifelong friends Ellis, Dorie, and Julia have made plans to spend a month together in a North Carolina beach rental, hoping for a break from their respective personal and career problems. Mary Kay Andrews's 2011 novel Summer Rental sticks to the formula that has served her so well in the past: loads of female bonding, a love story, a woman-in-peril subplot, and a healthy dash of angst.
