This book was disappointing. A light and very quick read. I appreciated some of the family elements of the story especially how family relationships and memories can be associated with a particular place. And Martha's Vineyard is a beautiful setting. However, much of the story line was far fetched and somewhat disjointed. It is a story of three sisters, but really focuses on just one. Another story line is that of a nephew who is recovering addict. It really did not add anything to the book. Another character is an eccentric old friend who is living in a storage unit. There if friendship and an unexplored romance there, but again left unresolved and disjointed. Disappointing overall.
