1 star for finishing it. Not one of my more favorites of hers, and that's okay. Lots of soapy drama centered on a group of 8 friends. Would've been more interesting to me (because of who I am as a reader) for more drama-drama and less happily ever after - that's not how Elin writes, and I did not adjust my expectations. That's on me. This one draaaaged though. A lot of fluff for I'm not really sure why. Lots of CWs in this one, so be aware.

I‘m reading the Nantucket series in preparation for Swan Song. I liked this so much better than book one: A Summer Affair. I found myself wanting to read it every second I got. There was a mystery woven in there that was done really well. The ending was tied up without any loose ends.This book made me excited, sad, tense and angry which makes a really good book. Can’t wait to read the next one in the series.
