SWEET SALT AIR (Barbara Delinsky)

This novel, I think, harkens back to Delinsky's earlier romances.  Set on Quinnipeauge, a small island off the coast of Maine, the story revolves around childhood friends Nicole and Charlotte,  who have reunited after a 10-year separation to collaberate on a cookbook.  Nicole is a popular food blogger whose husband, Julian, a prenatal surgeon, is desperately seeking a miracle to halt the progression of the MS that could destroy his career.  Charlotte is a travel writer who has spent the last 10 years in search of great local color and, possibly, redemption for past sins.  Both women have been harboring secrets that we know will inevitably come out over the course of their summer together.  Throw in Leo, a local recluse with a big secret of his own, and you have all of the elements for a terrific summer read.
