Cam G. (Murrells Inlet, SC)

Heat Wave
Since I spent much of my youth on Nantucket many years ago, I was truly interested in reading Nancy Thayer's new book. I was disappointed, initially, that this was going to be a bit of a "fluff" book: 30 something women who lived well on Nantucket socializing and stealing other women's husbands. However, there was more to the story - one of loss, friendships lost and redeemed and love given and received. This is a light, "breezy" type of beach book that is quickly and easily read.
