Great light but meaningful reading. Allie Larkin did a great job of taking the reader into the world of a seniors' community in Florida, as a newly divorced young woman moves in with her grandma. We see Kate renew childhood friendships with her grandma's friends and with her own high school BFF. This book's a nice picture of the lives of active seniors and the sense of community and lifelong friendships they enjoy and offer to a needy younger woman - all set against a project to re-unite a group of mermaid showgirls.

Having parents the age of the seniors and children the age of the protagonist, I really connected with this book. The cultural references - especially the musical references - are spot on. I could "hear" the B-52s and other music mentioned in this book as I read along. This will be a great selection for book clubs and for beach readers.
