Query: Summer letdown

I wanted to love this book. I have read other books by Barbara Freethy which were moving and exciting page turners. But Summer Secrets did nothing but fizzle my hopes for a good summer read. A bunch of middle age former high school BFFS, and an entitled spoiled teenager take off on an yacht adventure. Anything that could go wrong does. It wouldn't be a tale at sea without the unbelievable clash with pirates. I would have found the book more enjoyable if all of the characters were kidnapped and lost at sea. It was no summer picnic getting through this novel. It is way too predictable and boring.
