Can't Get Enough by Connie Briscoe
4.0
I read 'PG County' years ago and loved it. I only just recently found out there was a sequel and tried to get my hands on a copy as fast as I could. Once I did I BLAZED right through it. It picks up right where 'PG' left off.
The wealthy community of Silver Lake, MD and all it's outrageously snobbish residents are a treat to read about. There's the Bentley's, whose marriage seems the picture of perfection, but is FAR from it. Jolene, whose even more despicable and evil in this book than in the previous (which is hard to believe). Patrick and Pearl, trying to build a relationship but with Patrick's conniving ex-wife Jolene lurking about, who knows if it will be possible. And the newest resident of Silver Lake, Baroness Veronique Valentine, is seemingly a beautiful, gracious woman out to befriend the leading ladies of the neighborhood, but has mischief of her own to stir up.
I definitely recommend reading 'PG County' before reading this, but only because it too is a great book and you'll be better acquainted with the characters. It's not necessary though, this book holds up just fine on its own. I would LOVE for Ms. Briscoe to continue writing about this deliciously scandalous group of people, and look forward to picking up another of her books!
