found this copy for a buck at a book sale
I've been recommending this book recently to buddies who need something cool to read for summer. It's a funny, lazy, horny read about a bunch of lazy, bohemian rich people lounging around all summer having affairs and being adult burnouts.
"Chilly Scenes of Winter" was Beattie's first novel, and it's a lot more comprehensive in terms of characters, and more challenging in terms of story and concept. Beattie's short stories run the gamut of what literature can do: exploring an array of lives and perspectives, challenging readers and delving into compelling and beautiful writing.
"Love Always" is more like an HBO miniseries. In fact, it's a precursor of "Sex In the City" (I'm a huge fan). Bring it to the beach, or take it on the airplane and read the whole thing before you land.
