I heard on one of my podcasts that this would make a great summer read as it takes place in the Hamptons during a wedding weekend. It sounded simply Ralph Lauren-esque so I couldn't wait to get into it. It's about a family, the father of them in particular, who are preparing for their pregnant daughter's wedding at their island vacation home in New England. Between the father's obsession with joining the local golf club, the sister trying to get over her ex-boyfriend and using the weekend to do it, and the crazy antics of the bridesmaids and groomsmen. It also features a runaway lobster and an exploding whale. How is that not an entertaining summer read??
