Summer's almost over and Alex is no longer welcome...
Alex is a young woman teetering on the edge. Behind on her rent and with nothing to keep her in New York she agrees to spend August by the beach, in the lavish house of the older man she’s been seeing.
After one misstep at a dinner party she’s dismissed with a ride to the station and a ticket back to the city. But Alex decides to stay on the island, charming her way into the lives of the dazzlingly wealthy set who live there and leaving a trail of destruction behind her. Just how long can she keep going before she’s found out?

Customer Reviews
An end without meaning
The ending was an abrupt disappointment, the storyline a rambling nothingness with no real meaning / content and a lack of detail. Easy reading and relatively short but with a lack of substance.
Is that it
Terrible ending
Disappointed!
Why was there no ending to this book?? Feel like I completely wasted time reading it 😩
