Arriving at 40 with two kids and a divorce is enough to
drive Jackie Laurens to do something unexpected. On the
premise that she's going on a relaxing girl vacation with
her best friend, Anne, Jackie ends up going to Hawaii
alone. There she meets a new, exciting and, did I mention,
younger man named Kai.
Jackie's life tumbles as she tries to discover who she is
post-divorce and what (and who) she wants in her future.
One thing is for certain, she wants to be happy. It seems
her happiness lies in Hawaii. Traveling back and forth
three times, the last being due to a tragedy, she decides
what's best for her, only to find out that her mind is made
up for her in the end.
This is a very introspective novel and not at all what I
thought it would be; however, I found it interesting to see
the thoughts of this woman and watch as she discovers her
strengths. Jackie remains true to herself and finds out
what it truly means to grow up. I really enjoyed this
character and her thoughts about life and love.
Jacqueline Laurens is a newly-single mom, and the first of
her married friends to get divorced. Jackie reluctantly
goes to Hawaii to celebrate her 40th birthday only to fall
for a much younger man.
Her friends in Seattle all wanted Jackie to have a great
birthday, but a sexy surf instructor isn't exactly what
they had in mind when they told her to have fun. Now that
Jackie's back home, will she be able to keep her friends
and the new romance alive, or will something have to give?
