A nice visit with Jake after Mallory’s death as he and his friends reunite on Nantucket.

“The Sixth Wedding” picks up three years after “28 Summers” and it gives each character – with one major and obvious exception – a post-script. How you feel about each chapter largely depends on how you feel about the character.
Hilderbrand isn’t rocking the boat here in terms of character growth or original plot but that doesn’t mean “Wedding” isn’t a satisfying way to spend a few hours. I felt the ending to “Summers” was a little rushed, so it was nice to have this continuation and closure.
My only real complaint is that I wanted more Ursula. She was a crucial character in “Summers” and only gets a single chapter here.
However, I did enjoy the developments with Link (Mallory’s and Fray’s son) and Bess (Ursula’s and Jake’s daughter) – two very secondary characters in the original - even though their story was a little predictable and possibly used as a ploy to set up a future story.

This was a cute, satisfying little novella that tied up loose ends from another (absolutely delicious) Elin book. Wasn't crazy about one piece of the ending, but I see where she was coming from.
