Sunscreen & Coconuts
By Eliza Lentzski
A girls' trip in the Caribbean turns into so much more.
Midwest-transplant, Mercy Lewis, has always been responsible. Cautious. Careful. She wore sunscreen to the beach. A lifejacket on a boat. She crossed the street at crosswalks. She enjoyed life in moderation, and she didn’t indulge. So why is she having such a hard time remembering that on vacation when she meets a beautiful expatriate on a tropical island?
