Cape May by Chip Cheek

5.0

I like novels that feature a well-drawn torrid love affair; but Henry was a jerk to do that on his honeymoon?! Especially because he and Effie married right out of high school, and sex with her was still new to him. I couldn't enjoy reading about his affair as much as if it had been twenty years later. But I really enjoyed spending the days on the boat, drinking, and swimming with their sophisticated neighbors; and I loved how everything came crashing down, at which point I saw the demise of the marriage. It was brand-new with no legs to stand on, and I didn't think either of them could forgive the other.
