In a town where wealth is flaunted, these self proclaimed "Gem Rats" must learn to deal with tenuous friendships, betrayal, love, and self discovery in their own way, as life’s challenges present themselves to each of the women differently.   REVIEW: "Lisa Loomis has written a wonderfully entertaining contemporary fiction novel for and about women. Full of gossip, real life situations, and entertaining situations, this book will not disappoint. I must say, this is my favorite Lisa Loomis so far and I can't wait for the next one.   Highly Recommended!!!"   Excerpt “Listen, hindsight is easy and you can’t change the past. Move forward, hang on to your resolve and figure it out. I will talk to Martin this afternoon, but plan on it. If he has anyone coming that I’m not aware of, they can stay in the main house.” “Thanks, Rachel, I’ll wait to hear from you and then I’ll help you with the get-together. Not that you need it of course, but I would love to help,” Toni said. Rachel hung up the phone. Her feelings were no longer black and white like they had been at other times in her life. With Mark and then with Jay, she thought she knew exactly what she wanted. When she didn’t get it, she moved on. Moving on however, created its own set of problems. She realized now that it took more than just getting what she wanted. Marriage wasn’t easy and if either party quit working at it, game over. So many times people didn’t even realize they had stepped out of the court and walked away without even trying to finish the game. Rachel didn’t think Toni was wrong in her decision, she thought she should have forced her hand years ago. In allowing Larry to do nothing for so long he figured doing nothing was alright. She wondered how well Toni would be able to follow through with her actions. She also realized her party had just gotten more interesting.

I really loved this book!-Amazon
This book would be a great movie! You can actually see personalities and how a group of privilidged women interact and live thier lives in a upscale town. I would reccommend this book to anyone. Lisa Loomis is a great author! I have read some of her other books and have enjoyed them all.

Lisa never lets me down. There is a lot going on in this book. Seven VERY different women going through different stages of life's little drama's. Betrayals, mid life craziness and uncertainty pursues the friends . Very well written and entertaining. I would say it is one of my favorites but I have loved all of her books and they are all my favorites. :)

Great Vacation Read-Amazon
This is my favorite Lisa Loomis book! We all know at least one of these women in real life. It's a fun, summer read, perfect for taking on vacation. A gossipy, entertaining book that keeps you turning pages to the very end.
