This was a fun read about the opening summer of the Hotel Nantucket. I liked how the character's story lines interwove throughout the book and the descriptions of the hotel. There were a few plot points that I did not understand.
Why did Yolanda kiss Mario at the softball game? Maybe it was explained and I missed it or it just got removed in editing? I just feel confused because it was important enough the break up Lizbet and Mario, but then not important enough for an explanation once Lizbet realized Yolanda was going out with Beatriz? Mario knew she was watching the softball game, and would have seen the kiss, but when she asks him if he's seeing other women he's all, "what gives you that idea?" I must have missed something.
I also felt like Chad's big reveal was not what it had been built up to be.
