Summer read that drifted into a rather Harlequin-like teen romance through most of the mid-section. A family returns to their Nantucket summer home for their yearly visit. This year the stay occurs after the sudden death of the husband/father in a plane crash. His widow and their teen twins (almost too cutesy here) are shattered. The storyline emcompasses old romance, new romance, death, birth, renewal. Writing not terribly impressive--nice, easy read.

It's the tragedy that happens to the Newton family that immediately grabs your attention to this story. It was nice the way the book focused on the family itself instead of just the mother. While I didn't find any kind of realism to the story itself, it was a good read and the characters were engaging.Yes,perfect for the beach.

After I read any one of Elin's books, I always want to move to Nantucket:) Thought this was a good read, because you really get to know the characters. I also liked how it was told from mulitple points of view.

This was one of my favorite Hilderbrand books. Based in Nantucket, it provides a story of love, grief and compassion. Nice, light read. Would definitely recommend.

Hildebrand is a new author to me but she's been around for quite some time, so she has several other books in print. I definitely will read some of the others.

I enjoyed the story because in a way it took me back to when I was a teenager. Nice people in a nice place. Definitely a pleasant read.

Good story about human emotions, although plot is somewhat contrived
