To my dad,
Who loves books, the ocean,
And books by the ocean

The story goes like this.
Thirty-year-old Bartholomew von Coffenberg comes out of Madison Square Park Tower’s underground garage in his red Corvette. The only child of an investment magnate, Bartholomew graduated from Harvard and now has a corner office at Goldman Sachs. He’s in a rush to get to brunch at Elio’s with his fiancée, Charlotte Astor. Charlotte is tall, slender, classy, and a successful attorney with a top law firm in NYC and the perfect match for him. Their parents made sure of this, just like they made sure the relationship was planned all the way to the wedding at the luxurious One and Only Reethi Resort and the honeymoon in the Maldives this summer.
