I was disturbed by how much of the message was all sex is justifiable. There were multiple instances and levels of cheating in relationships with glossed over consequences. I liked the IDEA of the book’s weekend, and the alternating perspectives. Lots of mysteries and background drama in each woman’s life. Might be a fun summer beach read in Nantucket, but too simple on all the endings.

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!
