Sweet Salt Air: A Novel | Barbara Delinsky
5 posts | 12 read | 4 to read
On Quinnipeague, hearts open under the summer stars and secrets float in the Sweet Salt Air... Charlotte and Nicole were once the best of friends, spending summers together in Nicole's coastal island house off of Maine. But many years, and many secrets, have kept the women apart. A successful travel writer, single Charlotte lives on the road, while Nicole, a food blogger, keeps house in Philadelphia with her surgeon-husband, Julian. When Nicole is commissioned to write a book about island food, she invites her old friend Charlotte back to Quinnipeague, for a final summer, to help. Outgoing and passionate, Charlotte has a gift for talking to people and making friends, and Nicole could use her expertise for interviews with locals. Missing a genuine connection, Charlotte agrees. But what both women don't know is that they are each holding something back that may change their lives forever. For Nicole, what comes to light could destroy her marriage, but it could also save her husband. For Charlotte, the truth could cost her Nicole's friendship, but could also free her to love again. And her chance may lie with a reclusive local man, with a heart to soothe and troubles of his own. Bestselling author and master storyteller Barbara Delinsky invites you come away to Quinnipeague...

Kloves2read I am a big fan of Barbara Delinsky. I liked this book but for me her earlier work I seemed to have enjoyed reading more. For example, Twilight Whispers, Flirting with Pete, The Women Betrayed, The Summer I Dared and Looking For Peyton Place. 4y
SilversReviews @Kloves2read I agree. Thanks for commenting. 4y

This was a nice summer read. The pacing was eh and with a story that featured a lot of food there were some glaring mistakes. One example is the strawberry rhubarb “crostini” being popular at the restaurant, when the author clearly meant crostata. Two very different things and a distracting mistake, but I enjoyed the story overall.

Kloves2read I really love her earlier work. Particularly Flirting With Pete, The Women Next Door, The Summer I Dared and Peyton Place. For me, she lost her writing spark. 4y
KatieDid927 @Kloves2read Oh wow, good to know. I‘ll check out some of her earlier stuff. 4y

I‘m trying to work on clearing some older books off my shelves. The first one I grabbed I discovered I‘d already read (thank goodness for Goodreads), so went with this instead.
