Why did Yolanda kiss Mario at the softball game? Maybe it was explained and I missed it or it just got removed in editing? I just feel confused because it was important enough the break up Lizbet and Mario, but then not important enough for an explanation once Lizbet realized Yolanda was going out with Beatriz? Mario knew she was watching the softball game, and would have seen the kiss, but when she asks him if he's seeing other women he's all, "what gives you that idea?" I must have missed something.
I also felt like Chad's big reveal was not what it had been built up to be.

Even for someone who's never been to Nantucket, Hilderbrand brings the island alive in this engaging read. From the detailed descriptors on various aspects of the island to inside commentary from Nantucket residents on the various events from the book to Hilderbrand even concluding The Hotel Nantucket with the well-mentioned Blue Book that each guest of the Hotel Nantucket received during their stay, readers will be fully immersed into the life of Nantucket during their summer season.
I also like Hilderbrand's decision to focus on an ensemble cast to serve as narrators in The Hotel Nantucket. Not only does this provide various aspects of the hospitality industry on display, but it also provides an interesting dynamic to the plot when you get to see how each of the different characters view the events of the book as they are happening. While not all of the characters are featured as heavily or shown a decent amount of development/growth, this ensemble cast is worth the read.
For anyone wanting a book that does over working in hospitality with a close-knit community and ensemble cast, you are going to enjoy The Hotel Nantucket.
