Synopsis

In this poignant debut loaded with humor, heartbreak, and Southern charm, old friends road-trip their way to solving a mystery and righting a long-ago wrong.Sarah Martin had every intention of skipping her high school reunion. Once a popular girl and valedictorian, she’s now pushing forty, divorced, and running a small bookstore in Nashville—not exactly an impressive life. But Sarah’s best friend, Kristen, won’t take no for an answer, and she won’t let them return to Briley High without Roxanne, the missing third in their senior-high trio.The beautiful and wild Roxanne—who listened to eighties rocker chicks, let anyone kiss her at parties, and dragged Sarah into plenty of trouble—disappeared just weeks before graduation. But Sarah’s not so sure she wants to track her down. She knows Roxanne’s departure was likely because of a betrayal—hers.Along with their pal Jack, Sarah and Kristen embark on a quest in a beat-up old El Camino, once the center of their spring-break dreams, in search of Roxanne. But the road ahead is full of surprises that will force the friends to confront their pasts and consider the paths they’ve chosen—and the ones still waiting to be explored.

Sarah, Kristen & Roxanne were like the Three Muskateers in high school. Then some stuff went down, Roxanne disappears from school and Sarah & Kristen try, half-heartedly because they're high school kids, to find her with no success. Fast forward twenty years. It's reunion time and Sarah & Kristen's l......more

Goodreads review by Kathleen on March 28, 2017

Camino Beach was well written, but I feel like it would've been better served with a 10-year gap between story lines rather than a 20. I don't know anyone who would still be fixated on a lost friendship from high school that long after the fact. That part was a bit too far fetched for me. I've had c......more

A very quick read. I liked the story but for some reason I just didn't connect with the characters. I think the author was very heavy handed with pop culture mentions and the way the characters talked. I would have liked to have read just the high school part of the story with more insight into each......more
