I was excited for a fun summery read, but the writing wasn’t great and the storyline was so predictable. I stopped at about 30%.

Super easy read, though there were two parts that I did figure out before they happened. Other than that, I found the characters to be enjoyable. There were moments that made me want just a little bit more, but the ending wrapped everything up nicely.

I absolutely loved The Nantucket Restaurant. The vivid descriptions made it easy to imagine the charming town, and I found myself wishing I could visit the restaurant in real life. I adored the premise of the grandmother bringing her three granddaughters together—it was heartwarming and such a clever way to explore their relationships. It was also convenient (and lucky!) that each of them happened to be in a position to commit to working at the restaurant for a year. Reading this felt like watching a feel-good TV show. I would have rated it 4.5 stars, but I was a bit let down by how quickly the author rushed to wrap up each character's storyline at the end.

Three sisters inherit their grandmother’s favourite restaurant after her death and have to work there for a year to comply with the terms of her will.
This was an easy and very predictable read. The plot didn’t come with any surprises and can best be described as safe and lacking depth.
It was filled with various dishes and wine pairings and though set on a famous island, there was hardly any description of the beautiful setting.
The characters were one-dimensional and hardly any depth to them. There was no development by the end of the book.
Also, certain incidents were skimmed over and sometimes it seemed overly descriptive.
All in all, it wasn’t bad but it could be better. I received an advanced copy and the review is mine and voluntary.
Family food and Nantucket are at the heart of this enjoyable book. After the death of their grandmother, sisters Jill, Emma, and Mandy are surprised to discover that she owned Mimi’s Place, their favorite Nantucket restaurant. The will holds another surprise, it requires the sisters to run the restaurant, along with Paul the chef and Emma’s high school boyfriend, for 1 year. After the initial disbelief the sisters figure out how to make it work and with their life’s at crossroads the year together on Nantucket may be exactly what they need. This was a perfect book for a lazy summer day as I immersed myself in the lives of Jill, Emma, and Mandy. The time on Nantucket allowed them to reconnect, to heal, and to discover what they want out of life and love. I recommend this book to readers that enjoy books about family, finding love, and creating the life you truly
