“If you love Elin Hilderbrand and The Great Gatsby, Moore’s confection of a novel, set on Block Island, is a satisfying treat.”—The New York Times

From national bestselling author Meg Mitchell Moore comes a sparkling, escapist novel following a young woman entwined in the opulent lives of her neighbors, set against a backdrop of scandal, secrets, and a not-so-subtle love triangle, perfect for readers of The Wedding People and Pineapple Street.

It’s the beginning of the summer, and Nicola Carr has just arrived on Block Island, RI, eager for a fresh start and some R&R. But her plans for a tranquil summer are quickly derailed when she meets the neighbor who owns the mansion next door, Juliana George, an enigmatic entrepreneur with a past shrouded in mystery.

Juliana, CEO and founder of a hot fashion-tech company, is spending the summer on Block Island preparing for a major IPO. But she’s chasing her dreams in more ways than one. This summer she hopes to rekindle a flame with a man from her past—a man who has a surprising connection to her neighbor Nicola.

Taylor Buchanan, the wife of Nicola’s cousin, is second-in-command of a real estate empire. Her life is exactly the way she planned it, and there’s nothing she’ll let get in her way of Having It All. But when everything suddenly verges on the edge of collapse, she has no choice but to take matters into her own hands.

As Nicola, Juliana, and Taylor’s summers unfold, the three women are set on a collision course that leads to inevitable self-discovery, unforgivable betrayal, an unavoidable love triangle—and, most unexpectedly, a dead body.

Great ready

Easy read, storyline seems simple then plot twist shakes it up a little to keep you engaged. Good enough to read again

Modern take on Gatsby

I think that the story didn’t go far enough. To take on a theme like gatsby it’s necessary to go further, question more, expand. This story played it safe. I still enjoyed it. Felt a little disappointed that it had all the makings of it just had a little more fallow through.

Gatsby in Block Island

This book had a lot of parallels to The Great Gatsby. It held my attention. It had a dishy, juicy quality, but also some sadness.
