I am a longtime Cabot fan but this is my first time reading one of her adult novels! I was initially going to give this one 3 stars, and then I started reading other Goodreads reviews and remembered how incredibly irritating it was that Bree refused to evacuate during a Category 5 hurricane. Setting that aside (although I fully understand how impossible it was for some readers to ignore such a privileged stance on natural disasters), I still enjoyed Cabot's charming writing style. Both Bree and Drew annoyed me, but the larger cast of characters were fun and gave the book a ton of small-town charisma. The romance was not the most compelling and the book should have been much shorter than it was. Overall, the setting was the best part of the book for me, so I think the series itself shows promise (let's leave hurricanes out of the next book, shall we?).
