We began our evening by torturing the waiter. Poor guy! We're glad he had a great sense of humor. We studied his appearance and all guessed his name, which happened to be Mike.
When Kim announced May's read a few weeks ago, she claimed it was a strong recommendation from another book club. We all had high hopes for The Last Summer at Chelsea Bay but it ended up being a flash in the pan. We all agreed that it was a quick, easy, beach read. Many felt the main character was a little promiscuous for that time period. Another flaw was the disappointing ending. The author may want to find a new editor because we noticed many grammar errors and typos. Although many did not like the book, a few of us somewhat enjoyed it, but definitely did not rate it in "one of the best books ever" categories. We ended our meeting with some good ol' Fannie May. Thanks to our former BCDP winner, Barb, for making our waist line thicker!

Recommendation: Although we did somewhat enjoy the book, I'm not sure many of us would recommend it for the reasons above.

BCDP: While we were guessing the name of the waiter, Kim decided that whoever comes closest alphabetically to his name wins the BCDP. Tracy wins with a guess of "Matt"! She won a really cool frame featuring our members of BC. It is displayed in her living room!
