This book could have been good. The story was a good idea.
I only liked one of the characters, maybe two. Most were not lovable nor relatable. All were selfish.
The end was rushed and felt unfinished.
There was a random narrator at the very beginning and randomly popped up, and we never find out who it is. Also, the dog has a narrative ?… but only 430~ pages in and once. It didn’t drive the plot or thought process at all.
The whiplash from the back and forth between the present and past! It was almost hard to keep up with. Tried too hard to have a weaving dynamic of characters.
I really wanted to like it but it felt like a superfluous read.

What a delightful tale of the drama amongst a group of women on Nantucket! I wish I was drinking a margarita on a beach while reading this. The premise was really interesting and well executed. All of the characters were fleshed out and felt like real women. There were turns every other chapter that kept me hooked!
