Book Review:
''The Weekenders'' by Mary Kay Andrews is a perfect beach read that blends romance, intrigue, and soap-opera-like twists. Some people stay all summer long on the idyllic island of Belle Isle, North Carolina. Others come only for the weekends, and the mix between the regulars and ''the weekenders'' can sometimes make the sparks fly.

Riley Griggs has a season of good times with friends and family ahead of her when things take an unexpected turn. While waiting for her husband to arrive on the ferry, she is confronted by a process server who thrusts papers into her hand. Her husband is nowhere to be found. She turns to her island friends for help, but it becomes clear that each of them has their own secrets.

Andrews' writing is warm, engaging, and full of Southern charm. This is a story of family, friendship, and the secrets that can change everything. If you enjoy beach reads, contemporary romance, or stories with mystery and intrigue, The Weekenders is a must-read. Highly recommended!
