hmmmmmmm..... I'm a little torn about rating this a three, but it doesn't really deserve a two, it kept my interest, and, was indeed, an escape. So then, why the hemming and hawing? Everyone has days, weeks, months and even years, that they would just like to shut down, pack it in and escape to an "other" place, what's not to like? In this context, of course the whole premise of the novel appeals, but I'm not sure our "heroine," Emily, really did escape so much as kind of, waffle. She went someplace she knew, with rejoinders of a questionable past, and plopped herself without really ever letting go of the bag of her "real" life. So where's the true escape? Maybe I'm just quibbling over a difference of definition, but, after all, it IS the name of the book! All of that aside, Delinsky delivers a fine bit of summer escapist fluff......
