Friends with Boats opens with news of an accident: Mack Taylor has been in a rollover. Sadie wonders if he deserves it. She and her best friends, Ada and Charlotte, have more in common than they thought: they’re all in love with Mack.
Similar to an Elin Hilderbrand novel, the book is from the perspective of the three women, who are locals living year-round on Cape Cod. Sadie is a mother of two in her forties with a stalled marriage, who reunites with Mack, her old flame from high school. Charlotte is Sadie’s best friend since childhood, an ex-model from Manhattan, and she longs for attention. Ada is a working mother of two, who is fighting to save her job and marriage when she falls for Mack.
When Mack arrives back in town to start a fancy seaside resort, the women are smitten. He charms them with his looks and humor. When Sadie finds Charlotte’s necklace at Mack’s seaside cottage, it becomes clear he’s a liar and has duped her. After a fight on the beach, the friends seek revenge with the help of Mack’s Nanna, a wealthy socialite, who cuts him off from the family trust. Mack’s return to the Cape forces Sadie, Ada and Charlotte to confront their marriages, personal demons, friendships, and realities.
