This is actually the first book I’ve read by this author and I really like her writing style. I didn’t particularly like the characters in The Rumor but I did like the flawed humanity in them. The Nantucket perspective was definitely giving Bridgerton/Gossip Girl vibes which made me like this story more than I would have otherwise! It got a little slow in spots but I stayed excited to pick it back up. Struggling to decide between 3 and 4 stars…
