Three college friends have grown up but they refuse to grow apart. Amy is getting married to her longtime boyfriend Eric and wants to take a spa vacation with her two best friends, Caitlyn and Leah, before the big day. They are traveling from Chicago, Denver, and Portland to meet up in Mexico for a two week getaway at La Buena Vida resort. Back home Amy is a financial consultant, Leah is a biologist, and Caitlyn is a poet with a day job in a lotion store, but this vacation is meant to help them leave their adult, responsible selves behind for a bit.

But they each have issues they can't leave behind. Amy is about to walk down the aisle but she's doubting her decision. She's afraid she settling and she wants her friends to help her live it up again. Caitlyn's mom won't tell her who her biological father is and it's caused Caitlyn to look at every man fifteen years older than herself as potentially being her father. Along with her mother's multiple marriages Caitlyn is left with no real idea of how to be in a monogamous relationship. Leah may appear to be the least troubled, with the most normal upbringing and a job she loves. Leah's has tragically low expectations for finding someone she can feel passionate about and who will love her back the same way. Can two weeks at a spa help these friends find the answers they need - and want?

SPA VACATION illustrates a deep level of dedicated friendship and, how each woman's story is told through the years of their friendship, is what sets this book apart from others. Their foibles, their insecurities, and the way these friends encourage each other is sweet. But don't think these women ignore their sex lives. They share plenty of advice and encouragement there too.
