4.5. Loved this and loved the ending! Elin is one of my favorite authors to pick up when I've had a reading slump. Guaranteed to bring me out of it!

This was a slow read, I put it down and picked it back up several times. But the story was cute and the ending couldn’t have been more perfect. 

That said, I can’t stand Tabitha.

My first Elin Hilderbrand read! I was so intrigued flipping back and forth between sisters, and islands, I just wish it had been a TAD shorter. Sometimes, the book lagged and dragged, but sometimes it flew through chapters. 

Surprisingly, the characters were fun to read. I hated most of them at the beginning, but ended up rooting HARD for them all, especially Ainsley.

Overall, this was such a fun summer and beach read; especially when reading and learning about Nantucket and the Vineyard.

P.s: The epilogue was SO sweet.

Coming in at a little under 600 pages- I liked this book but it took too long to get through.
