fun summer read

Definitely a beach read in that you should read the whole thing in as few sittings as possible because it becomes tedious to track all the characters and plot points otherwise.

My second book I have read of hers. A lot of character growth and an easy read. The story took an expected route but an overall feel good book.

This was good. Was weirded out by the casual references to drunk-driving though -seriously, wtf, what is going on on the roads of Nantucket/Martha's Vineyard?
emotional funny hopeful inspiring lighthearted reflective relaxing sad fast-paced

A solid summer beach or poolside read for when you want something on the light side.

A good quick beach read. Unfortunately, I kept getting interrupted by library books, and the plot does not bear up well if you are reading the book for months. It is good for what it is - a book that should be read quickly over a few sun-soaked vacation days.

An addictive summertime delight made even better by its perfect epilogue.

As usual, I enjoy the beach read quality of Elin Hilderbrand's novels. I listened to this one as an audiobook and found myself enjoying the drama of each character and how it all resolved itself (neatly, as usual). An easy fast read.
