Riding the bus = reading time
3 stars
Always the perfect summer read! I enjoyed this Elin Hilderbrand story as one of my “farewell to summer” books as the summer is winding down and the fall will be coming soon. They always make me want to plan a vacation to Nantucket!
16% through & life's too short.
All characters immediately detestable (pretty much). I would say the rich ones are entitled & self centered, which they are but somehow even the other ones are too. What kind of 50-some y.o.s still act like they are in highschool and actually maintain friendships? This confounds me tbh. In reality if I wouldn't give condolences to someone for losing a spouse, I'm not spending a weekend with them. Wth.
The pacing of the novel was perfectly balanced, effortlessly blending moments of levity and introspection. Hilderbrand's writing style is engaging and immersive, making it easy to lose myself in the story and lose track of time. The effortless flow of the narrative kept me engaged, eager to witness the twists and turns that awaited the characters....

Aahhh such a great summer book! Hilderbrand‘s Nantucket books are the best summer reads and this one is excellent! Ticked all the boxes for me.
