Part 1: “The Best Trip Ever”
Prologue Summary
May Hanover, a self-described good girl and strict follower of rules, says goodbye to two police officers. May has just returned home from a weekend in the Hamptons. Her fiancé, Josh, asks if the officers came to their apartment to discuss a case, as May was a district attorney until recently. May calls her friends, Kelsey Ellis and Lauren, who are still in the Hamptons, and tells them to expect a call from the police. (They recently played a prank that is now having unintended consequences.)
Part 1, Chapter 1 Summary
The narrative shifts to a point in time six days earlier, when May is packing for a trip. Her dog, Gomez, is cuddling with Josh. May still struggles with COVID-related anxieties, and she realizes that this trip will be the longest stretch of time that she has spent away from her fiancé and her dog. Kelsey has rented a beach house for 10 days so that she, May, and Lauren can catch up with each other, but May has just accepted a new law professor job and needs to work, so she only plans to spend the weekend there.
