I really liked this book. It was "meatier" than most of the beach books I've read this summer. The characters came to life & I cared about them. It was a little daunting to have each chapter focusing on a different time period, but I was eventually able to follow it without frustration.
Great book! I read it through in a couple of days. Couldn't put it down...will look for more from this author.
It was a little slow starting but once I got into it I enjoyed it a lot.
Really good read contemporary and interesting character portrayals. Somewhat predictable plot but still held interest
I enjoyed this book! It was a fast read. The story covered the strength of friendship and the struggles in marriage. The story line was not a new theme, but the author did a good job of portraying the characters faults and all. It covered a broad range of emotion, disappointment, love, betrayal, even got a bit steamy at times.
EXCELLENT BOOK! Quick read - couldn't put it down :)

"Summers in Nantucket and winters in western Massachusetts are the perfect setting(s) for this novel of best friends who share more than the frivolities of life."
