After reading this book, I have a renewed faith in the importance of manners, graciousness & personal interaction.

All of the characters were flawed, but I liked Stephanie the best. LOVED the description of Walker's birthday party for Melody.

Must read the acknowledgements at the end of the book--very insightful.

The social scene is big; the hair, makeup & fashion of the era are described in glorious detail💁👗👠👛

"Six years of looking at Jim in the kitchen and wanting to plunge an ice pick between his eyes"

I enjoyed this book. Great psychological fiction for poolside reading.
