"Compelling.... What Miller offers...is a distinctive sensibility--a candid exploration of the frail and gritty truths about trying to love without harm or reprisal."--Boston Globe

In this riveting collection of short stories, bestselling author Sue Miller writes compellingly about a chapter in the moral history of our time.

The fascinating stories featured in Inventing the Abbotts explore the treacherously shifting ground of erotic and family relationships.

In the title story, a young man takes up successively with three daughters of the most fashionable family in town. Others concern a young girl in the first blush of sexual curiosity, and a stricken dowager whose seizures release a brutal and sometimes obscene candor. In one story after another, Sue Miller presents a remarkable gallery of characters, offering insight into contemporary men and women with their hungry hearts and dismayed consciences.

With keen sensitivity and penetrating insight, Inventing the Abbotts will strike a chord with readers everywhere.

Beyond my expectations…
Scent: Incredible 10/10. The entire shower smells like a spa afterwards. Woody notes, vanilla scent is deliciously heavy and warm, and even one pump delivers a punch of fresh vanilla scent to your entire body. I’m a woman who is in love with heavy earthy scents and this is it! P.S it also matches well with scents like vanilla, cocoa butter, chocolate, or even delicious “smore” scents! I pair it with vanilla and cocoa butter scented deodorant, vanilla perfume, or vanilla body lotion and it works amazing! Longevity: Lasts the entire day if I’m staying home just relaxing, not working out or sweating very much. I could shower in the early morning and by the time my head hits the pillow I still smell it faintly! If I’m out and about it still lasts hours I’d estimate around 6-8 hours before the scent fades! If I shower at 6am, come home at 5pm-6pm after work I still smell fresh! (I always shower 2x a day but you don’t even need to with this! Value for Money/Size: Oh absolutely! I think I bought this soap two weeks ago? Used it nearly every day, and you can’t even tell! One pump is enough, two pumps MAX per shower per day. I decided to lavish myself by buying this soap, because it’s a bit more pricey. But it’s actually saving me more money, at this rate I’ll be buying another one of these every 3 months! So that’s…4 times a year? 5 max? That’s incredible. I’ll probably stick with Cremo for life honestly. And I’m a woman!💕🎀

High Quality and Smells Great!
This is so far superior to the standard soaps that you buy off the shelf in a supermarket. It creates a truly luxurious lather and smells fantastic without being obnoxious or perfume.

Body wash
Scent: Aquatic
high-quality body wash with a rich, creamy lather that cleans without drying your skin. The Coastal Breeze scent gives a fresh, slightly tropical ocean vibe with layered notes that feel more premium than typical drugstore washes. It rinses clean and leaves skin feeling smooth, not sticky. ✔ Rich lather + moisturizing feel ✔ Fresh, clean coastal scent (not overpowering) ✔ Feels more “luxury” than basic body washes ❗ Scent may be light for those who like strong fragrance ❗ Slightly pricier than basic brands 👉 Bottom line: A solid upgrade body wash—great if you want a clean, fresh scent and a more premium shower experience without going high-end.

Enjoy a beachin' experience in the shower.
Scent: Aquatic
I enjoy Cremo's body wash products. They work well with my skin and body chemistry. Not overly drying or overly moisturizing. Foams nicely with a silicone body scrubber, rinses cleanly. Scent during the shower is very nice. Smells like sun screen and salt water with some coconut undertones, you feel like you just got back on a boat in the Caribbean after swimming in the ocean. It is not super sweet smelling coconut. After drying, some scent remains on skin, lingers maybe an hour or two, not overpowering, doesn't smell like a teenager. Product performs nicely, good value for the scent, quality of body wash, and size. Keep these coming Cremo, don't mess up this product line.
