Three college friends have grown up but they refuse to grow
apart. Amy is getting married to her longtime boyfriend
Eric and wants to take a spa vacation with her two best
friends, Caitlyn and Leah, before the big day. They are
traveling from Chicago, Denver, and Portland to meet up in
Mexico for a two week getaway at La Buena Vida resort. Back
home Amy is a financial consultant, Leah is a biologist,
and Caitlyn is a poet with a day job in a lotion store, but
this vacation is meant to help them leave their adult,
responsible selves behind for a bit.
But they each have issues they can't leave behind. Amy is
about to walk down the aisle but she's doubting her
decision. She's afraid she settling and she wants her
friends to help her live it up again. Caitlyn's mom won't
tell her who her biological father is and it's caused
Caitlyn to look at every man fifteen years older than
herself as potentially being her father. Along with her
mother's multiple marriages Caitlyn is left with no real
idea of how to be in a monogamous relationship. Leah may
appear to be the least troubled, with the most normal
upbringing and a job she loves. Leah's has tragically low
expectations for finding someone she can feel passionate
about and who will love her back the same way. Can two
weeks at a spa help these friends find the answers they
need - and want?
SPA VACATION illustrates a deep level of dedicated
friendship and, how each woman's
story is told through the years of their friendship, is
what sets this book apart from others. Their foibles, their
insecurities, and the way these friends encourage each
other is sweet. But don't think these women ignore their
sex lives. They share plenty of advice and encouragement
there too.
Two months shy of walking down the aisle, Amy Harrington
can't imagine why she's suddenly having fantasies about
other men. Sure, her sex life has become, well, routine,
and she's never felt more confused about her future. Is
this what saying "I do" is all about?
If she asked her
best friends, Caitlyn and Leah, they'd say she was
suffering from a potent mixture of chronic good girl
syndrome and sexual code blue. Now, Amy can't help but
think that maybe it's time she call off her wedding and
embrace her inner bad girl. After all, brilliant and
beautiful Caitlyn is clearly at peace with her naughty
side, and nature girl Leah is so obsessed with her job she
doesn't even need a man. Little does Amy realize that
things aren't exactly perfect for her two best friends
either.
Before anything gets too topsy turvy, Amy,
Caitlyn, and Leah head off to a gorgeous spa in Mexico,
where they plan to bond, get in touch with nature, and
transform themselves into sexy, skinny vixens. What they
don't realize is that this last hurrah could signal an
exciting new beginning for each of them...
