This is the story of three 66 year old guys, friends as college students years ago, who come together on Martha's Vineyard to reconnect. And to talk about the mystery of what happened to Jacy, the girl they were all in love with back then.
The story of Jacy seemed a bit contorted and "soap opera-ish" to me but that doesn't mean I wasn't drawn right into it!
The beauty of the book for me was the character depiction: 3 very different men, all drawn distinctly and beautifully. You feel like you know them.
After I started to get to know them, chapter by chapter (each chapter is the name of one of the men) as he draws them, I wanted to go back and reread previous chapters. When done with the book, I wanted to start it all over again.
But, it was a 7 day book and at $.50 a day, I didn't do it. Besides, my next book was waiting.
