POSTCARDS FROM LAST SUMMER

Smart, perceptive, and deliciously funny, Roz Bailey's novels are impossible to put down. In POSTCARDS FROM LAST SUMMER, she follows the lives and loves of four girlfriends as they reconnect in the Hamptons each summer for cold margaritas, hot hookups, and plenty of drama...

WISH YOU WERE HERE...

DARCY LOVE is a lot like her lipstick red convertible: fast, pampered...and sometimes off the road. Though she's still cruising guys and playing it loose enough to worry her friends, she knows that this will be the summer where Kevin, the love of her life, finally falls for her. This summer is supposed to be a hot one, and she's planning to make it even hotter...

Years ago, ELLE DUBOIS was driven away from the Hamptons in a fall from the rocks of a jetty, a fall that nearly took her life. Since then, her world travels with her parents have been tracked by postcards, but this summer, Elle vows to return to the Hamptons, to the only true friends she's ever had, come hell or high water...

Every summer TARA WASHINGTON regrets leaving her quiet and sane friends in Manhattan for the Hamptons - until she gets there. It's such sweet relief to cut loose and be away from the unending pressures to meet a man who's also African American. She loves the craziness of the Hampton girls, especially her friends, and before long she's getting crazy right along with them...

LINDSAY McCORKLE just knows she's the only woman on the beach who shouldn't be wearing a swimsuit. Spending the winter indulging her passion for ice cream and chocolate hasn't helped her figure - or her confidence. For once, she'd like to meet a guy with a brain, but till Mr. Forever comes along, there's always those hunky lifeguards...

From family scandals to flip-flopping fortunes to single parenting, these girlfriends will make this and every summer unforgettable as they pick up the right guys, the wrong guys, the tab, and always, each other.
