Teetering on the fence between 4 and 5 stars.
I think if the ending would’ve been tweaked just slightly, I would’ve been a mess of tears. But what we think was going to happen doesn’t happen, after all.
Liked this a lot. My first Elin Hilderbrand novel: check.

This book transported me to 1969 New England, which is exactly what I wanted it to do. The characters were interesting, and I found myself invested in their journeys. Can’t wait to read the follow-up.

Sweet story, a little too sweet and tied up nicely for me.

5 stars for what it is, which is a summer beach read. This is perfect for that.
The story is good. There is a hint of mystery that I personally enjoyed. I also really enjoyed the family dynamic and the character develop went. This was also a fun read because of the setting of the year 1969.

I’ve not read much historical fiction from this time period, and I liked how each character explored a different aspect or event of 1969.

A book club read that I really enjoyed. I like a character driven story and this is definitely one. Each character is "real" and I would like to know where they are now 50 years later. Interesting story, interesting family.
