This novel starts out promising with likeable characters and an intriguing plot. But the first clue that the authors (yes, plural, why does it take two people to churn out this stuff?) are taking a day at the beach instead of working hard at quality writing comes with a hurricane three months out of hurricane season. The story then degenerates into the improbable and from there to the implausible and finally to the incredulous. Nothing in the second half of this book could possibly ever happen in real life. If you like stories that resemble some aspect of realism, take your towel to another beach.
