Drowning Lessons
(A Red Frog Beach Mystery)
by Rachel Neuburger Reynolds
CHARACTER INTERVIEW
- Hi Lexi, Welcome to ⒾⓃⓉⓇⓄⓈⓅⒺⒸⓉⒾⓋⒺ ⓅⓇⒺⓈⓈ What is your full name? Lexie Marino, short for Alexandra
- How old are you? 35
- Are you married or single? Well, I guess I’m single, as of last month. I was with my boyfriend for five years, but sometimes you have to do what’s best for you and move on. It wasn’t easy, but I think it was for the best.
- If single , have you ever caught the bouquet? Sadly, I have not. Most of the weddings I’ve been to have been with a fellow bridesmaid from this wedding, Marianna. She consistently knocks people out of the way in order to jump for the flowers!
- What is your favorite drink? I’m simple – I’m a fan of Coca-Cola in a glass bottle. If I’m going to have a drink drink, I’m a fan of the Aperol Spritz.
- I know you discover your 'deductive powers' but have you always been a curious person? I wish I could say yes. Historically, I’ve been a bit timid about trying new things, but hopefully that’s come to an end. It’s been quite a wild ride!
- Do you come from a large or small family? I have one brother. My mother has four siblings and they each have two kids, so I guess I’d say small immediate family and medium extended.
- Beach or Mountains? You’d think because I can’t swim that I’d be a mountain gal, but I absolutely love the beach. Hopefully my new curious and not scared nature will allow me to finally learn to swim.
- Coffee or Tea? Definitely tea. Two milky mugs in the morning and a mint tea in the afternoon. Like clockwork!
- Chocolate or Vanilla? Vanilla (but with chocolate sprinkles).
- Anything else you'd love to tell our visitors? I’ve had a crazy but ultimately amazing time down in the Bocas del Toro islands. I’d recommend it over anywhere I’ve been. To be honest, I’ve fallen in love with the place, and my mind has flirted with going back… permanently. The people I’ve met down there are quirky, and warm and unforgettable. I promise to let you know if I follow my heart on this one.
