The Castaways: A Novel Audiobook

" Enjoyed this was easy listening and the narrator did a great job. "

" This was a great story of friendship, marriage, healing and love. Worth reading! "

" I did not enjoy this book at all....too much flashing back to past. The story rambled about things that didn't seem to go with the story line... "

" loved it.. I got so involved in all the characters and I loved how each main character told their story.. great book "

" I really expected this to be about two people stranded on an island and falling in love. Boy was I wrong! It took a little while to get into the story, but when I did, I loved it! "

" I found it a bit too depressing, but I had to finish and see how it all pieced together. "

" I loved this book didn't want it to end. Used my Kindle and rented it from the public library. "

" Not my favorite in her line of books but still a nice story and enjoyed reading it "

" My favorite of Elin! "

" I don't know how much I like the "way" it was written - the different points of view from all of the characters - but I had to know what happened - so that kept me interested. "

" I really enjoy Elin Hilderbrand's books and this one was no exception. Kept me hooked from start to finish. My only complaint was that it drug out a little bit longer than I thought it needed to before the resolution, but otherwise it was a really good read :) "

" I liked this book after I got used to reading from the viewpoint of six different people. The only thing I didn't like is the fact that it didn't seem to have a point. It didn't go anywhere, just some reminiscing and stuff by a group of friends. "

" I love everything by Elin Hilderbrand. I can't read a book that won't eventually get at least three stars, and that would be nit picking. Her characters are great, the story isintriguing, and it didn't end the way I thought it would, which was even better. "

" Oh. My. Goodness!!! This is an amazing book! "

" This was ok. I chose it because the author grew up in PA. It took a long time to build all the character angles but the ending was anticlimactic. It wasn't a bad book but it didn't leave me wanting to read another one of hers. "

" Enjoyed this story and the writing. Have another story downloaded from this author and it's on my very long list! "

" This was a solid good book. Definitely kept you hooked and interested the whole way through. However, I didn't really walk away with anything from this book. "

" 3 and 1/2 stars. I wish 1/2 stars was an option. "

" Predictable, but a nice easy read. "

" Another good summer book..but a bit complicated..too many characters.... "

" This is my first read of a Elin Hilderbrand novel. From the first page, I enjoyed her style of writing each chapter from one of the six remaining characters perspectives. Could not put this one down. And I am anxious to read some of her previous novels. "

" Engaging, interesting stories. Good character development, even if the characters are somewhat caricature and predictable. Not intense reading, but great for an escape. "

" I enjoyed this book. It is a chick lit but a refreshing style. "

" The book grabbed me and kept me reading (hopefully to solve the mystery) but I was disgusted that the story seemed to taking place in "Peyton Place"! "

" Great setting as usual and the plot is good. It was somewhat convoluted to follow with the intertwining of characters and all the different narrators. Not my fave of Hildebrand's work. "

" It was a story that made you think about your relationships with your closest friends. The author pulls you in as you get to know about these 8 people you want to know more. "

" Part of me really liked this book. It was well written, the plot was well done, and the characters were fully fleshed out. There was a real sense of place about it. Unfortunately, I didn't really like any of the characters very much, and in this case, it made for overly slow reading. "

" Not as much of a light beach read as I had hoped but, I could relate to the characters and it was an easy read that kept me hooked. "

" Great setting as usual and the plot is good. It was somewhat convoluted to follow with the intertwining of characters and all the different narrators. Not my fave of Hildebrand's work. "

" Loved the plot and the characters. I'm hooked on E. Hilderbrand's books now. "

" This book was ok. It was good summer fluff. A little language, a little sex. Good beach read. "

" Author swears a lot. Lots of infidelity and sexual content.:( "

" Her writing style was a little choppy, and I didn't love the subject. But I loved the ending and the setting (Nantucket during the summer). "

" Was good, but slow in the progression of the story. Not one of my favorites by Elin. "

" Really liked it! Expecting fluff and instead had a riveting engaging story full of twists and turns! First one I had read by this author. It was a little hard to keep all the characters straight, especially Phoebe and Delilah. I am not really sure why. "

" Just finished this book yesterday. Was an easy read, slow in some parts, but an overall good book. "

" Good summer read with local connections. "

" Sad story....quick read. Love the Nantucket setting. "

" This was my first time reading Elin Hilderbrand. I enjoyed the different perspectives she wrote in. I will definitely read another book! "

" Good book - only problem: had to make a sort of character graph because for the first part of the book I could not keep all the characters and their "love matches" straight at all. Still interested in reading her other books though! Good author! "

" So good!! I am really loving this author right now. It's about four couples, who are the best of friends, how their lives are intertwined and the secrets they share. "
