This book was wonderful. It’s not, like, high art but it knows what it is. It’s a really good beach read (that I read in winter bc I like to try and read all the GR year-end nominees).

The thing that was most striking to me was honestly that it was the authors 29th book! How does a person have so many stories? This book had like 8 storylines going at once. So she thought of 8ish storylines per book?? Math that up and it’s a bajillion storylines. And I enjoyed them all. Some were predictable, some were not, but all got their own pretty bow.

Beach read that read like a menu 

Many fancy meals 

The daughter was annoying 

Brooke’s cloying was over the top

Not believable but it’s not supposed to be

Kept me captivated the whole time! I’m a slow reader and tend to put books down for a while and forget about them, but the writing and the plot kept me hooked and wanting to pick this book back up! I loved all of the “stars”, although I did find Caroline to be annoying at times, and each of their secrets and connections to each other were so fun. My one critique is that at times it felt like a how many Nantucket places can I name contest but it was very fun to have it set in Nantucket with familiar places.
