3.0

A light, fluffy readable book set on the beautiful island of Nantucket. It was well written enough to finish, but really unmemorable. It is the story of three women and their dad struggling to overcome their past and find love(which became predictable and seemed to fall flat in their laps). What I found unusual about this book was just when it hinted that something terrible might happen through foreshadowing the expected never did happened and all ended happily! Sort of funny to have so many happy endings in one book. Their deceased mother is an enigma and the book opens with her featured,but we never learn much more about her until the end. I felt like the author missed an opportunity to add more substance to this book by adding more details about who the mother was and describing her struggles. The characters also were fleshed out lightly and almost everything from the sexual encounters to the inner demons were skirted around and only alluded to. The book felt forced and as if the author was not really fully invested in the writing of it.
