2.5/5 I wanted to love this but the many plot lines and characters were distracting. I usually love all of the characters Elin introduces but with this story it just felt clunky. I think Ramsey’s character was completely pointless. I also feel the ending was a bit rushed… however I did love the epilogue.
Like most of her other books, the character development is what made this book what it is. Even if the plot is just ok (like in this book), Elin Hildebrand is the best at making you feel like you know each of the characters personally.
I like this one *slightly* less than the others, but she still can’t miss.

Read because it popped up in a shared Libby account. Cute and fun. Just enough family angst to be believable but not so much to be unreadable or anxiety inducing.

Elin Hilderbrand does not disappoint on the summer reads! This is another great one! Family dynamics are always interesting, especially when there are identical twins living on different islands.

Her books are the best beach reads because they’re easy to get through and the plots never too heavy. Still at times you find yourself wrapped up with the plot and even tearful. I enjoyed this book a lot!
