3.5. I loved the alternating POVs more than I loved the overall story itself. This was less about the 3 women than it was the people in their lives, especially Deacon Thorpe.

I needed something to listen to and it was immediately available on the libby app, so I went for it - just fine, no strong feelings either way really

Sweet last chapter. Two of the characters were lovable but all others were not. The premise of the story was infidelity which wasn’t my favorite. Not much character growth and development. As always with Elin Hilderbrand, the setting and side characters were lovely. Overall just meh

This was somewhat slow in the beginning and a little too neat and tidy at the end. A decent beach/cabin read and I'd love to try at least one of the recipes. I think we all long for something of our childhood that was lost in one way or another, or at least wish we had a chance to say goodbye. This book does that for its characters, and gives you a little bit of hope for humanity.

“No one who fell in love with Deacon Thorpe remained innocent for long.”
Elin Hilderbrand is THE summer romance author. No beach holiday is complete without one of her many books on the beach. So of course, going on my first beach holiday, in a long time, I had to pick one up to read while laying on the beach.
This book was filled with drama. I mean, what else can be expected when you put three woman who were with and married to the same man (at seperate times in their lives, although sometimes overlapping) there is bound to be drama. One last holiday in their home away from home, in the Nantucket beach house which was bought during his first marriage.
None of the characters were perfect, which just adds to the drama. They were all flawed, in affairs and addictions and secrets. This made it all the more interesting.
If you’re going on a beach holiday, take an Elin Hilderbrand book. Perfect for the beach, or sitting and watching the water from afar.
