blossoms_reads 's review for:
The Nantucket Restaurant
by Pamela Kelley
Thank you, NetGalley and Sourcebooks Landmark, for giving me the ARC to read and review.
In this cozy summer read, three sisters get tasked to work at their family-owned restaurant. Their grandmother passed away and left in her will that she secretly owned a popular Nantucket restaurant. She states that the three sisters must work in the restaurant for a year before selling, or the ownership goes to the head chef of the restaurant. This story goes through the trials of owning a restaurant and the exploration of relationships in your thirties.
The three sisters and their families were very interesting a different to dive into. All of them are at different points in their life, but all come together for one soul purpose. I liked how we got different pov's of the sisters and delved not only into them working in the restaurant but also their relationships and problems.
Some men in this story are keepers, but there are a few, or really only one, that is a huge walking red flag! I am glad he got what was coming to him.
This book is supposed to span over a year, and for the most part, it dives into the first few months of them owning the restaurant. Not until the end does it start to do time skips. It goes from being with the characters for their weekly tasks to all of a sudden month skips or only detailing a day because it is important. Before you know, they are deciding what to do with the restaurant and the book ends. The time skips are not bad, it just felt not as put together as the beginning because of the skipping around. The relationships kind of suffer from this because, towards the end, things felt rushed relationship-wise. This book also tries to touch on addiction, I think. I am not sure that the whole chapter was a bit confusing.
A cute little summer read and a nice cozy beach read. If you are into cozy fantasy and want to read a summer book, this might give you the same vibe. The descriptions of food reminded me of cozy fantasy. This book did make me hungry on multiple occasions.
