Customer Reviews

Written well

This book had me on a bit of a roller coaster. The story of a woman torn between 2 men who are both decent people, The daughter having issues of her own, and then sickness. It kept me wanting to turn the next page but also needing tissues. Overall it was a good read. I only gave it 4 stars because of the adultery plot.

Just Finished It❣️

Another wonderful story by Elin Hilderbrand. I’ve read most of her books, and she never disappoints in her storytelling. This book touched by heart.

A bit disappointing

It was an ok read, it kept my interest. I didn't like the fact that it basically romanticized adultery.

My first Elin Hilderbrand novel

This was the first Elin Hilderbrand novel I read and I absolutely love her writing style. This book made me want to laugh, cry, and move to Nantucket. There are so many layers to this book and it’s a perfect beach read!
