Life's a Beach
Life's a bit of a beach these days for Ginger Walsh, who's single at 41 and living back home in the family FROG (Finished Room Over Garage). Geri, her BlackBerry-obsessed sister, is also nearly off the deep end about her pending fiftieth birthday (and might just drag Ginger with her). Toss in a dumpster-picking father, a Kama Sutra T-shirt wearing mother, a movie crew come to town with a very cute gaffer, an on-again, off-again glassblower boyfriend, plus a couple of Red Hat realtors, and hilarity ensues.

". . . funny page turner . . ." -- Ft. Worth Star Telegram
"Claire Cook is wicked good!" -- Jacqueline Mitchard, author of The Deep End of the Ocean
"Dive into this gleefully quirky coming-of-age story centered on . . . a 41-year-old. With the help of her hippie parents, Boyfriend the cat, and a shark-crazy movie crew, Ginger Walsh is finally growing up -- and there's no escaping a few growing pains." -- Redbook
"Humorous, light, and at times touching. Cook once again hits the mark." -- Fresh Fiction
"I picked up a bound copy of Claire Cook’s Life’s a Beach at NEIBA and wanted to be the first to recommend it for a Booksense pick for June 2007. The timing of the release and the subject matter will make this book a beach "must read". I really found myself escaping to the Cape. I feel like I became part of the family dynamics and fell in love with precocious Riley. The characters (both the wonderful and the exasperating) are fabulous and I hated for the book to end. Get out the lemonade and beach chair and enjoy!" -- Sharon Duran, Edgartown Books
"In this lighthearted, breezy read, Cook displays a wry sense of humor and knows how to write realistic characters." -- Library Journal
"Midlife love, laughter, sibling rivalry and self-discovery . . . Goes down as easy as it sounds." -- People
"Tender, touching, and terribly, terribly funny!" --Mary Kay Andrews, author of Savannah Breeze
"a book brimming with wit and heart." --Cape Cod Times
"perfect-for-the-beach summer novel . . . a bumpy delight." --Boston Common
