Hilarious look at sun-baked, over-indulging lesbians. Gigi, the party girl, and Mallory, the solitary responsible business woman, have been friends since childhood. But times are changing for the old pals. Mallory is seeing a psychiatrist and struggling to grow up and to understand her life (including her love for Gigi). Meanwhile, Gigi continues to flit from one risky, albeit usually humorous, caper to another, seemingly unconcerned about her future. When Mallory finally starts to date again, after years spent recovering from an old heartache, she is smitten with a new doctor in town. As the romance turns serious, Mallory begins to feel confident about her future. Gigi watches Mallory blossom right before her eyes. And while their circle of friends can always keep things light and interesting, they can’t shield Mallory from the betrayal that could destroy her newfound happiness or from Gigi’s reckless ways.

This is the first novel in a planned trilogy featuring Mallory, Gigi, and their band of fun-loving friends.
