This book covers three days in June and tells the story of Gail Baines. It starts with Gail walking into work as the assistant headmaster only to find out that she is being replaced so she quits…or is she fired?
She arrives home and shortly afterward, her ex-husband, Max,
…more arrives (uninvited) on her doorstep with a cat and announces that he will be staying with Gail for the weekend due to their daughter, Debbie’s, wedding. Debbie, meanwhile, is participating in a spa day for the ladies which Gail was not invited to.
Just before the rehearsal dinner, Debbie confides in Gail and Max that her husband-to-be, Kenneth, acted questionably and she questions whether or not she should continue with the wedding. This revelation brings back to light an incident that ended Gail’s own wedding.
This is a quick read and the characters are realistic and the storytelling his honest. The interchanges between Gail and Max are quirky and they are total opposites. (less)
