Three couples - Sam and Clementine who are parents of two little girls; Oliver and Erika - oldest friend of Clementine; Vid and Tiffany who live next door to Oliver and Erika. Erika and Clementine have a friendship with a lot of baggage and from the opening pages you will notice the strain between them. A spur-of-the-moment invitation is extended by Vid for everyone to come for a barbecue. Later everyone will regret going.
This isn't a story that begins at the beginning and goes straight through to the conclusion. What happened at the barbecue is revealed in very small pieces for most of the book. The friendship between the women is explained as we learn about Clementine's childhood - again in small snippets.
The reviews of this book are not as good as for her previous books but I was entertained enough to read it in two sittings!
