I am sooo disappointed!!!!

I have read all of the author's books & love them all.
I preordered this book & was so looking forward to reading
it & am only half way through it. It is dragging. The truth
is that I don't like any of the characters. I will finish it
& hope that somehow I change my mind about these people & can
write a better review.

Three Sets Of Siblings

I really liked this and think it's the perfect book to take to the beach in the summer, especially if that beach is located on Tuckernuck Island, Nantucket or even Cape Cod where I got to spend a week or two during many of my childhood summers. Hilderbrand created interesting characters and she never let it get boring because she kept the relationships suspenseful. Told from different characters points of view, the author did a remarkable of job of keeping the sequencing and the facts straight (who knew what, and when they knew it).

NANTUCKET AREA AGAIN.

Nantucket area again. An privately owned island and 4 women: 2 daughters (Tate and Chess), the mother (Birdie) and the aunt (India). They are all here to connect with each other and with reality. Birdie is divorced from Grant, Tate has no love of her life presently, Chess has cancelled her wedding to Michael and he has fallen to his death on a rock climb, and India's husband Bill committed suicide and she has a chance of a lesbian affair with a student at the art college. Barrett Lee is their caretaker during their month on the island. Many surprises await all of them. A Very Good Read.

Decent plotline but just terrible writing

The author had a good idea and some interesting outlines for characters. But this was one of those books where the author tells you what is going on rather than showing you through character interaction and depth. It reads like the outline of the book instead of the actual story. There are some super embarassing sentences "she was bucking like a horse at the gates". Ewww... Not impressed. That said, I finished it.

Great Read

This was the first book I have read by this author. It was a very good read. I will be getting more of her books (just ordered The Blue Bistro). I hope it is just as good as this one. I really came to love these characters and am a sucker for anything to do with a beach setting.....
