A Nantucket woman returns home to find that reunions aren’t always simple, in this heartwarming novel from the New York Times bestselling author of A Nantucket Wedding and Secrets in Summer.

“Nancy Thayer is the queen of beach books.” --The Star-Ledger

Keely Green always dreamed of leaving the beautiful shores of Nantucket to become a writer. Now she’s a bestselling novelist living in New York City, attending glamorous cocktail parties, mingling with the literary elite, and dating a charming pediatric surgeon. But a moment of clarity strikes when Keely’s boyfriend suddenly wants to settle down and her editor rejects her latest novel. With her personal and professional lives in shambles, Keely longs for the island way of life.

Growing up, Keely and her best friend, Isabelle, were inseparable. Nothing could come between them - except, as it turned out, Keely’s high school boyfriend, Tommy. Returning home means facing Isabelle’s bitter betrayal and seeing for herself the family Tommy and Isabelle have created, the life that should have been Keely’s.

But when Keely’s mother falls into a deep depression, Keely knows what she must do, even though she is reluctant to face her estranged friend. And encountering Isabelle’s older brother, Sebastian - Keely’s longtime crush - only complicates things.

In one incredible summer, Keely must confront the mistakes of the past if she has any chance of finding true happiness in the place she will always call home. Nancy Thayer shines yet again in this uplifting tale of forgiveness and self-discovery.

delightful

I love the Nantucket scene. it was a breath of fresh air
loved every minute.

Too fluffy!

Good but fluffy. narrator's voice is positively simpering at times. for a short book, it took a long time to get through.

Great listen

This book was very enjoyable to listen to as I drove in my car. The reader’s voice was awesome. The characters so easy to love.

Enjoyable!

Narrator was fine - reminded me of the Crawdad book. Plot was good. Easy listening - just what I needed

I think even the author was bored

This was a struggle to finish. The performance was mediocre. And it seemed to drag on and on. the conflict between Keeley and Izzy was predictable.
