Mallory Blessing and Jake McCloud meet on Nantucket in the summer of 1993, and over the next twenty-eight years they spend one weekend together every summer. The year-by-year structure covers the pair as they build careers, meet other partners, and see their lives change, even as Jake marries Ursula and the two pull in different directions. Elin Hilderbrand plays with the line between friendship and love, and follows them to the final summer of 2020, when the pandemic changes the plan.
A good beach novel for readers who like slow-burn romance across decades. Its structure keeps you wondering how it will all end.
Practical, inward-looking, clear-cut and escapist; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Escapist Adventurer. Which reader are you?
