I couldn't agree more with the majority of readers who find thisbook vapid, shallow, and completely boring. I cannot understandhow one reader (from Boston) found the author had captured theessence of Cape Cod...I frequently spend time in Truro and Iwas utterly disappointed that neither Truro or the lower Capeever came to life in this book. She might have been anywhere.The characters never came to life and what little we learn of them does not make you want to know more anyway.I gave this l star because there was nothing lower.
