I went to elementary school with Susan Shreve’s son, and I have enjoyed reading her books, many of which take place in DC. While I didn’t particularly like or identify with the characters in You Are The Love of My Life, I enjoyed a quiet day on Lucy Vincent Beach in Martha’s Vineyard absorbing this tale. It’s nice when you can really picture the setting and imagine the characters in it. And, the story moved along at a nice pace and was pleasurable.
