Predictable for the most part but good characters
This book has interesting character development - I wanted to know more about their lives and I cared about them. The plot line was not very original and tended to go along at a moderate pace. The setting, Nantucket, was described in an inviting way. I think the potential for a better story was there because of the richness of the characters and the location.

Good Light Reading
I did enjoy this book, and I think that most readers that like this type of fiction would as well. My main problems with the book stemmed from the fact that it seemed fairly superficial. What I mean by that is the tragedies that the protagonist endured didn't really seem to affect her that much, and the way she interacted with her children turned me off somewhat.

Heat Wave
Since I spent much of my youth on Nantucket many years ago, I was truly interested in reading Nancy Thayer's new book. I was disappointed, initially, that this was going to be a bit of a "fluff" book: 30 something women who lived well on Nantucket socializing and stealing other women's husbands. However, there was more to the story - one of loss, friendships lost and redeemed and love given and received. This is a light, "breezy" type of beach book that is quickly and easily read.
