Good book. Liam and Cadie meet when they are 17 and her wealthy family is vacationing at Nantucket in the summer. Liam is a local boy who works as a boatbuilder and has no plans for college. Cadie is pregnant at the end of summer but Liam never knows. Twenty-five years later she returns to the island for her son's art show opening and sees Liam again. ..... Now comes the part that seemed a stretch to me: (1) She tells Liam he is a father to a 25 year old and Liam is not even one bit mad that he is just finding this out for the first time but instead happily becomes a father; and (2) Liam and Cadie are still the loves of each others lives after a two week relationship when they were 17 and 25 years apart. Neither has had a real relationship ever since then. Even though these two facts seemed incredulous to me the book was still a good story and still well-written. There was more than just the girl and boy see each other and fall in love because Cadie has terminal cancer and is dying. So there were elements of real sadness to this story.
