A review by smithemorgan
Nantucket Nights by Elin Hilderbrand

2.0

Am I being gaslit into thinking this is a “love story”??

I LOVED Hotel Nantucket with my whole heart and I had high expectations for this one but wtf? The relationships in this book were GROSS and Elin tried to write Theo’s POV as a man scorned by true love but he was GROOMED by a child predator. It was not love, it was a lonely old lady taking advantage of a kid in high school and he became obsessed with her because she kept him at arms length and introduced him to “manhood”. No warm, fuzzy feelings towards these characters at all. The friendships sucked, Kayla was insecure and weak and the ending was annoying. There’s no way Antoinette deserved any forgiveness.
