I have read other books by this author and this was a twist for me. It was not like the others I have read. Most of the others were about finding love. This one is about finding family. When I started reading I wanted to stop. I hated it. I always give a book a 100 pages. I still could not get through it. So I went and read reviews of the book hoping I was not wasting my time. The reviews were positive and they painted a picture of a nice summer read. So I kept on reading. Im glad I did. As you meet the different characters and their stories, you start to see truths around you and that this story is not full fiction that some of this could happen.

There are so many characters and it would be hard to describe the book and characters without giving away the story. The story takes place on Nantucket an island off of Cape Cod, MA.
Meet some of the characters:
Nan: widow, has a home on the bluffs overlooking the Beach.
Michael: Nans son, jewelry designer, works for Jordana and Jackson Jewelers
Daniel and Bee: Troubled Marriage, need a place to get away from it all
Daff and Richard: Perfect Marriage, Perfect Daughter

This book has many characters and many twists and secrets. I think the book would have flowed better if she wrote each chapter from a different character and not blended the characters thoughts into one chapter. Sometimes it was confusing who was now talking.
