Hmmm...Another Summer Beach Book Is Here...

Here is my recipe for the perfect summer book.

Ingredients…

At least one husband having an affair with his wife’s best friend

A wife running off to a guest cottage in Nantucket because of her husband’s infidelity

A dysfunctional trio of sisters who all have their own issues…including falling in love with a married man, getting dumped by a fiancée and losing a job and being the youngest in the family with no concern at all for other family members

An island widower still trying to recover from his own issues and the death of his wife

Directions…

Now toss all of these characters together, add some odd island old society characters, lots of angst and self doubt, a small theft or two, some blue fish, beach swims, bicycle rides and boat trips and you have a yummy novel that you will not be able to put down.

Nancy Thayer does a lovely job of keeping all of these many characters moving throughout the course of one summer. The book is charming and a total delight to read. It  helped solidify my decision to head to Nantucket in the Fall.  One week, cottage, beach...yummy!!!
