Book Review: Brilliant Characterization in Outer Banks
Summary: 5 Stars
It's been years since they've seen each other but a reunion of college class mates is about to take place at the Outer Banks of North Carolina. An invitation from Ginger Fowler who owns the beach house there, requests the company of Kate Abrams now a successful interior decorator, Cecie Hart, Kate's former best friend, and Fig Newton, who has become a romance novelist and photograher.Kate Abrams is the main character in this book. Now married, Kate was a cancer victim but is now out of remission and is somewhat reluctant to reply when this invitation arrives.
Persuaded by her husband, she goes off to the Outer Banks through she knows that the man who has broke her heart years ago will most likely poke his head in one day.
Paul Sibley now married to Ginger Fowler was once Kate's sweetheart. Paul was once the love of her life whom he held in very high self esteem and respect. Imagine him betraying her with one of her own friends, for the sake of money alone!
Kate and Paul Silbey had planned a future together but those plans were not to be. Charismatic Sibley made sure of that by making the wrong move. As they meet at the Outer Banks, new cans of worms are opened and new stories imparted stemming back from their days at college which when revealed is enough to shock the socks off of their lovely feet. Forgiving Ginger Fowler was made easy this time for Kate, for Ginger once the big beautiful Amazon has lost her looks and has deteriorated badly due to her many overindulgences and the daily stress she now faces in her life.
But that's not all that Kate has to settle. She has it out with Fig; accusing her of a multitude of things she has done behind her back in the past and then there's Cecie her former best friend. Although she and Cecie Hart have been talking good and everything with each other and relating about thier lives apart, there is something rather remote and distant about her. However the crunch comes much later when Paul Sibley makes his appearance and all hell breaks loose. But......it's a long way before these days at the Outer Banks comes to a unsuspecting tragic halt. The characters are brilliant and this is one of the books I'll be reading again in the near future. Thanks Ms. Siddons fro the hope more readers will purchase it soon.

Summary of Outer Banks
Elegant Kate, walking a tightrope over an abyss of lies...sensitive, sensible, self-contained Cecie...Ginger, the heiress, sexy, vibrant, richer than sin...and poor, hopeless, brilliant Fig -- they came together as sorority sisters on a Southern campus in the '60s. Four young women bound by rare, blinding, early friendship -- they spend two idyllic spring breaks at Nag's Head, North Carolina, the isolated strip of barrier islands where grand old weatherbeaten houses perch defiantly on the edge of a storm-tossed sea. Now thirty years later, they are coming back. They are coming back to recapture the exquisite magic of those early years...to experience again the love, the enthusiasm, the passion, pain, and cruel-betrayal that shaped the four young girls into women and set them all adrift on the...Outer Banks.
