Three women, each facing a crisis in love, family, or work, take a house in Nantucket for the summer. One is dealing with illness, another with a marriage that has fallen apart, and a third with a scandal that cost her her job. Over the course of the season they share long beach days and evenings together, and are slowly drawn into each other's problems and into new relationships. Elin Hilderbrand lays out the island's summer routines and the friendships that form under pressure.
A good beach read for those who like warm, character-focused women's fiction with an island setting. If you want something light that still pays some attention to grief and second chances, this fits.
Practical, clear-cut and escapist; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Escapist Adventurer. Which reader are you?
