Book Description:
Food writer Maggie Marrion is just getting back on her feet after a horrible year, or two, or three. With their twentieth reunion approaching, she invites four of her closest friends from college for a weekend at her beach cabin. What she doesn’t expect is her best friends, artist Quinn Dayton and part-time erotica novelist, Selah Elmore, to play matchmaker. The two plot a surprise that will make the weekend, and her life, a lot more interesting.
Gil Morrow, former grunge musician turned history professor, joins them as Selah’s date for the weekend. After coming face to face with the one who got away, he decides he’s waited long enough to get the girl. With the support of old friends, a few wishing rocks, the world’s largest burrowing clam, and a hot lumberjack thrown into the mix, Gil reminds Maggie that forty-something isn’t too old for second chances.
Can we learn to love the life we have and let go of who we expected to be? What happens when the generation from The Breakfast Club and Reality Bites meets The Big Chill? Come spend a weekend with these Generation X-ers as they share laughter, tears, life’s ups and downs, old stories, and new beginnings.
My Review:
Are you wondering what a geoduck is? I certainly was! (It’s a species of saltwater clam.) Geoducks are for Lovers is a sweet and very entertaining story about friendship and second chance love. Maggie is a food writer and has become somewhat of a recluse. The story takes place when her college friends come to visit (graduation was 20 years ago), and in the group is Gil, Maggie’s college boyfriend. I enjoyed the story of close friendship and the fact that these characters were not 21 years old! This book is for anyone who likes a well-written, well thought-out story that takes the characters on a path of self-discovery and awareness. Absolutely loved the setting of the book, too. Daisy Prescott is a very gifted writer and I loved the story and characters she created for Geoducks are for Lovers.
