slow-paced
Loveable characters: No

Probably the last I'll read of this author. She followed her formula to too much predictability. Almost didn't finish it.

This was one of her earlier books that somehow never got around to reading. She sure has come a long way. These characters were hard to like and their choices so selfish that it was hard to have any compassion for them. This made it difficult to enjoy the book overall.

Not one of my favorites from her, but I liked it well enough to finish. I kept feeling like I had read it before - but I don't think I had.

This storyline kept me wondering but I did finding the ending disappointing and it felt a little rushed.

This is supposed to be a book about the bonds of female friendship. The author clearly has no idea what she's taking about and writes about women like a first-class misogynist.

I just finished listening to this. I usually like Elin Hilderbrand-entertaining reads/listens but this one was not good! Mostly dislikable characters and predictable story. Must be early in her career

I've read this a few years ago and enjoyed it. One of her more serious beach novels and one that made me feel a little bit sad this time around. Enjoyed it again, but not sure if I was in the right head space for it this time around.

This is one of Elin's first books and you can tell compared to some of her newer work like 5 Star Weekend- but I enjoyed the character development and the twists. Read it in two days!
