Set over the summer in beautiful, beachy Nantucket, this makes an easy summer read. A woman's ultra-wealthy lifestyle and family life comes to a crashing halt when her husband is arrested for running a Ponzi scheme (very much like Bernie Madoff's). She escapes with an old friend to her friend's summer home on Nantucket while she finds out if she will be indicted and figures out how to restart her life.

The great thing about being late to the Elin Hilderbrand game is that I have so many "new to me" reads that I can fall in love with. This was absolutely one of those reads. I loved the threads of this story - lifelong friendship, love - lost and found for a number of reasons, the twists of an investigation of an intense crime, and just so many wonderful feels. I really, really adored this one y'all.

This may be my favorite Hilderbrand book yet, which I realize is an unpopular opinion.
