As bubbly as a bottle of champagne, Cocktails for Three by Madeleine Wickham is a silly quick poolside read. It has no redeeming value and I paid only fifty cents at a library book sale. But I was amused.
Back cover: Roxanne - glamorous, self-confident, with a secret lover - a married man
Maggie - capable and high achieving, until she finds the one thing she can't cope with - motherhood
Candice - honest, decent, or so she believes - until a ghost from her past turns up
These three ladies meet every month at a swanky bar for cocktails. Of course they all work at a glossy fashion magazine. Of course they travel, live well, and are dressed for success. They are best friends and having the time of their lives. But all three have a secret. Friendship unravels for awhile as this romantic tale with a splash of scandal plays out.
Sometimes you just have to kill time with a ridiculous book.
