"A book that had me on an emotional rollercoaster...I cried, got angry, felt the suspense, laughed, and cried some more. It was hard to get into the book at first but once I was in it, I was hooked! It was a nice, girly read." — Annette (4 out of 5 stars)
"A book that had me on an emotional rollercoaster...I cried, got angry, felt the suspense, laughed, and cried some more. It was hard to get into the book at first but once I was in it, I was hooked! It was a nice, girly read."
“[A] heady mix of beach house, cancer, affair, and mom lit.”
“Narrator Katie Hale’s gentle voice lends itself well to expressing the trauma of Vicki…And Hale is especially believable in characterizing Brenda…Secondary characters…are also given true-to-life performances.”
“In Hilderbrand’s hands it’s easy to get lost in the story.”
" LOVE<3 "
" Wonderful summer read! "
" Thank you Hanny! This book is a gift and I loved reading every minute of it. "
" engaging, but extremely light...now on to something more meaty "
" Really great book, but once again there is some language. "
" I really wanted to like this book...but it just didn't happen. The subject matter is too heavy for a light summer read, but I did not feel like I knew any of the characters on a deep enough level to be invested in their story. I guess it didn't help that I found all three of the main characters extremely annoying! "
" Good story, kept me interested. "
" I'm slightly irritated at the ending, and it was a good book, just not as good as her others I've read. "
" A pleasant read which I enjoyed but this is another of those books that I did not find memorable. "
" Classic beach read by the classic beach author. Really got into the story and could not put down. Nice book to get lost in. "
" Not bad, not great. However, I did breeze through this book and find this author is a great in between heavy and fluff one for me! "
" Middle was boring, but go better towards the end. "
" obviously a fluff book, but it's about summer on nantucket and i read it while curled up in front of a fire in february, so i blew through it and enjoyed it more than my intellectual mind would have liked. "
" It was very good. I didn't get to read how it ended, though. "
" This was a good beach book, a "chick"story, and a happy ending. "
" This is a story of three women spending the summer together in a small cottage on Nantucket.Each of the women are trying to get away from a major life crisis.Throw in a cute college boy with issues of his own and you have a good "beach read." "
" I liked it. Quick read. "
" Couldn't get into this one at all. "
" Perfect for the beach.... only I read it in March hoping that the warm weather would soon follow. Mindless and really nice. "
" I really got to know and love these women and their lives, I really enjoyed this book! "
" Excellent book about how 3 women are dealing with major problems in their lives. They are each in different places in their lives and each are dealing very differently with their problems. Excellent book! "
" Another great beach read from Elin Hilderbrand. Summer in Nantucket tale involving a trio of personalities. One of many enjoyable Summer in Nantucket tales by Elin Hilderbrand. "
" Love Elin Hilderbrand's novels. She makes me want to visit Nantucket. Once you start one of her novels, you cant put it down!!! "
" I liked this book. It was a great summer read and the characters were enjoyable with enough substance to seem that they could be real people that you might know. "
" Quick Easy Read. Good storyline. "
" Makes me want to go to back to Nantucket and wish I could stay for the WHOLE summer "
" Typical chic lit.. "
" Kept my interest throughout. Not as predictable as I first thought. Easy beach read. "
" I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Loved the characters, loved the story. "
" Found it very hard to put down! An easy but good read. "
" Good story... good taste of what cancer treatments is like and how it effects your whole life. I liked the dynamic of the three ladies and I liked the ending. "
" It's like a Lifetime movie on the beach "
