Ok story about a widow who invites 4 friends to a girls weekend. 
A big cast of characters, all wildly different. Lots of flash backs. Lots of drama.

What a delightful tale of the drama amongst a group of women on Nantucket! I wish I was drinking a margarita on a beach while reading this. The premise was really interesting and well executed. All of the characters were fleshed out and felt like real women. There were turns every other chapter that kept me hooked!

Not my favorite Elin Hilderbrand book. Felt a bit slow and predictable and I didn’t fall in love with the characters. Having grown up on Cape Cod it was a fun little read and would recommend for a beach or pool day. Wouldn’t read again.

This book was a fun read, and it was interesting seeing all of the stars stories coming together. It really does feel like high school drama became a book. Which is kind of the point as we see the characters try to grow from their pasts. If you are anything like me, you will find that most of the time you can’t help but think what snooty bitches most of these characters are, and find it hard to believe they are going to have redeemable qualities. I’m glad they started to get their shit together near the end. The cast of characters was entertaining, the nosy neighbors of Nantucket adding their perspectives kept the story feeling authentically small town.

Beautiful. I picked this up because I was a fan of “The Hotel Nantucket”. I loved so much about this book, the setting, the characters, the writing. This was the perfect holiday read.
