Wealthy city chick Caroline spots townie Aidan staring up at her new luxury beach house one night. They meet again when Caroline goes into a local dive bar to drown her sorrows over her troubled marriage where Aidan's a bartender. So begins their fling.
A Stranger on the Beach gives us the common theme of when well-to-do meets working class. Is it just a cliché? Can such a relationship ever work out?
I enjoyed hearing the story told from both their points of view. It's a case of her truth, his truth, and something in between. There were times Caroline really annoyed me, just as much as Aidan did. Then I began to feel for Caroline. Well done Michelle Campbell.
Just when you thought their story was headed in a certain direction, it switched, which makes for an intriguing thriller. You wait for the twist, and Campbell delivered on that. It was an easy, fast read that kept me intrigued.
Until next time,
Kara
