Finished The Actor and the Housewife by Shannon Hale.
This is an entertaining book, a very fun beach/vacation read. It's not too realistic, but these days, that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Becky Jack is a married mom of four, who's Mormon and lives in Utah. She sells a screenplay and meets Felix Callahan (think a British version of George Clooney) who's also married. The two quickly become best friends, which is pretty bizarre. (Again--how many average women do you know who also happen to be friends with movie stars?)
I didn't like Part Three very much (plot twist that I didn't much like) but the first two parts are entertaining. What I did like was that Becky's faith wasn't portrayed as freakish or weird. I have Mormon friends, and I don't like hearing their faith (or anyone's faith, really) made fun of.
This is also a very funny book--literally laugh out loud funny in parts. If you're planning on logging beach time this summer, you should definitely consider bringing this along.
