" I really enjoyed this book and I would have rated it a 5 other than the predictable romance theme of the book, with the complicated relationships of the characters the romances were just too typical of most romance novels "
-




Cindy Van wassenhove | 2/4/2014
" I think that this book was really a good book. I am enjoying reading Elin Hilderbrand alot. "
-




Deborah Kile | 1/23/2014
" It was a decent book. A little slow, and I thought some of her other stuff was better. But, still wanted to know what happened at the end. "
-




Jerrle Gericke | 1/20/2014
" I'm not one to read "chick lit" which I considered this novel to be,but I really enjoyed it. "

Diane Rowland | 1/1/2014

Deedee | 12/31/2013
" A mindless beach read where all the characters are totally good or totally bad but if that's what you're in the mood for, this is entertaining enough. "

" I liked this one, perfect beach read. "
-




Sonia Copeskey | 12/30/2013
" Probably not what really happened between Ruth and Bernie, but an interesting fictionalized take on the situation. LOVE the backdrop of Nantucket. Will definitely read more of her books for easy reading. "
-




Missy | 12/17/2013
" Boring! Did NOT enjoy this one at all. "
-




Isabel Fuller | 11/28/2013
" I love this author! She is a perfect summer read! All her books are set in Nantucket and she is an mazing story writer. "
-




Laurel Sloan | 11/20/2013
" I liked this book better than the only other book I've read by Elinor. I think I liked it enough to try another of hers. "
-




Allison Junkans | 10/16/2013
" I know this book is not necessarily great literature, but I loved everything about it. I loved the characters, the setting, the story, everything. I have loved all of Elin Hilderbrand's books. "
-




Andrea Ludwig | 10/4/2013
" This book was okay, just okay. I wanted to know more about the husband, the criminal who stole people's fortunes by illegally investing their money into a Ponzi scheme. I kept reading, thinking it would tell me more about Frank and his motives and thoughts, but it never did. "
-




Theresa | 10/2/2013
" If there were a 3.5 stars I would have given it that. It was a typical Hilderbrand chic novel. She wrote a novel putting a character in the situation of going thru what Bernie Madoff's wife might have went thru. It was ok. To me, a bit contrived. "
-




Doris | 9/30/2013
" This book deserves a 5++++! Hilderbrand outdid herself--read this one! "
-




Ellie Revert | 9/23/2013
" I loved this story! It was very personal to me, and thanks to being sick, I read it all in one day. Not recommending for anyone else-----just me! "
-




Sherri | 8/29/2013
" A story I loved to read. "
-




Allison | 4/10/2013
" blah...didn't care about any of the characters. Not a page turner for me. "
-




Candy | 2/25/2013
" Enjoyable from point of view from the wife of Ponzzi schemer...fun read! "
-




Tawnya | 2/20/2013
" Great book--just like all of Elin Hilderbrand's novels are!! "
-




Erica | 6/6/2012
" predictable and sort of ridiculous, but entertaining and a fast, mindless read. :) "
-




Kaitlyn Wb | 5/16/2012
" A bit surreal reading about Ruth Madoff (right down to the anecdote about how she can't get her hair done anymore) but pretty entertaining nonetheless. "
-




Shelly | 4/29/2012
" On of my favorites that I've read of hers. Right up there with The Island and The Blue Bistro. "
-




Amy | 1/25/2012
" TRITE! Could not finish "
-




Lori Bervoets | 1/10/2012
" Elin Hilderbrand's books are good beach reads - light, don't have to think too much. But this one was better than the others I'd read. The main character is modeled after Bernie Madoff's wife. "
-




Carla | 12/26/2011
" This one starts out slow and at first I felt like it kept repeating itself. As the story progressed I really started to enjoy it. By the end, I couldn't put it down. Unfortunately I didn't love the ending, but it was probably how it would have played out "in real life". "
-




Melissa Kayden | 9/6/2011
" Great book and at first, it was hard to see Meredith as a sympathetic character but as you read more back story, it was easier to believe. Glad to see both characters get their happy ending and to see some recurring island characters from precious books. "
-




Mare | 6/6/2011
" I picked this book up on vacation to read on the beach. It was well written and kept my interest. I enjoyed the writing so much that I bought and read all of her books in print. Reminds us of putting ourselves in others shoes and not judging. "
-




Miriam | 5/30/2011
" Fun summer beachy read! Definitely take it with you on vacation. In fact, take all of Elin's books on vacation because you'll want to read one every day.
"
-




Pat | 5/23/2011
" Think Bernie Madoff then his wife, Ruth. Could she possibly not know? This issue is examined in Elin Hulderbrand latest book set, guess where, in Nantucket.
"
-




Red | 4/5/2011
" Another great beach read from Elin Hilderbrand!
"
-




Stephanie | 3/13/2011
" This was a great book...very traditional "summer read" by Elin Hilderbrand...but that is exactly what I expect from her...a great story with terrific characters...a little romance a little conflict...and a nice ending wrapped up with a bow :)
