Back in high school, Tracy, Olivia, and Holly were known as The Godmothers, the girls everyone wanted to be and know. Unlike many friendships, their bond survived the years. But 20 years later, their glamorous leader, Olivia, whose wealthy Italian husband has died, suggests they reunite on her return to the United States with a luxury sailboat crossing in the Caribbean. With Tracy's college-aged daughter and an attentive two-man crew, they sail into paradise. But then, the smallest mistake triggers a series of devastating events. Suddenly in a desperate fight for survival, they battle the elements, dwindling food and water, the threat of modern-day piracy, and their own frailties. STILL SUMMER is at once a breathtaking adventure and a story about the bonds that hold friend to friend and mothers to daughters, and how facing our own mortality tests the truth of everything we think we know.

Still Summer
I'd give it no stars if I could. I didn't read this book exactly, as I had it on audiobook. I listened to it on the way to my sister's house.
This was a horrible book. The author got so caught up in the description at times that I forgot what the point of the whole scene was. There was too much profanity and ugliness in a book that sounded like it would be a good chick book. Four friends get together for a cruise, one can't make it so they take the 19-year-old daughter of one of the others instead. Tragedy happens on the high seas, and it's suppose to result in a growing experience. Which is what you get from the back of the book, so there are no spoilers there. I like those kind of women-bonding type books, which is why I picked it up in the first place. But I was very disappointed that the only one that learned anything was the 19-year-old. One woman had to face up to the fact that she'd been used all her life by another of the women, who turned out to be even more selfish than ever when things got bad. Worse, a lot of people we got to know in the story died. For no apparent reason, except to get the women out on the boat alone. And it was interesting that one character we came to care about didn't even get a name. You try not to get too attatched to characters without names, because you know that will end badly, but still. He was the only decent one on a ship of pirates.
So don't read this book. I really can't recommend it.
