I picked this one up because I visited Monterey, California last fall, and will be going back again in October. I enjoyed being able to visualize the beaches, and have a vague sense of the setting.
The story didn't really grab me much. It was all right - a collection of vignettes about the residents of the area and their interactions, with a loose plot about some of them wanting to throw a party for Doc. I felt like a lot of characters were introduced, but we only got to know them on a superficial level.
Oh well - I'm really looking forward to going back to Monterey in October, and now I've read the book!
