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!

I really hated Matthew’s character, and the more I got to know him, the more I was so glad that he died in chapter one. Caroline may be given more grace, but I really disliked her for her attitude toward her mom. But the development between the two felt forced.

Given how pivotal Gigi’s role is, I was surprised how little she was featured, relative to  everyone else. I think it might’ve been because there were too many characters to focus on. Probably would’ve worked better with just three friends and a different title.

Epilogue felt cheesy. Book could’ve concluded without it.

So while I was  unsure what the big deal had been about this book, I thought it was cute the way the author highlighted her other book (The Hotel Nantucket) within this story.
