The main female character spends 90 percent of the story virtually being a mean person toward a boyfriend that has shown up in her home town & never stopped loving her. While they had decided to go their separate ways post college graduation, Lindy, the main character ends up in her hometown having to take care of her mother with dementia & her drug addicted sister’s baby. She can’t get over that he didn’t say goodbye. Even though she discovers that he had come looking for her 2 1/2 years ago, & had unbeknownst visited her mother with Alzheimer’s, she can’t give him a break. She needs to be married to have a chance of getting custody of her niece, who is now 5 & marries this boyfriend who makes no bones that he loves her. She makes all these rules to make the marriage one of convenience to be mutually ended after the custody meeting with the judge regardless if she gets custody.Finally in the last 5% of the book, she comes to her senses that she is in love with this guy who has never said anything different about loving her. Her voice is pretty annoying & should have read the book-would have gone much quicker. Way too long! Will read further books if I decide to continue series.

A great story of three women from a family, the grandmother, mother, & daughter over a span of 40 years, show how secrets discovered are passed on without being shared, coming to a climatic ending with the daughter & a man that happens to be a part of the story. There is a villain in the first generation still alive that was very complicit in what occurred with the first woman creating the ripple effect of choices each of them made in their lives. While one is able to figure out some of the story before it’s revealed, there are twists that one doesn’t see until the end. Each woman faces the power that a man holds in their world & has to deal with it. That after 3 generations & finding the truth of what happened & why, was a fitting ending. Loved the narration of the story & development of the characters. Secrets & Assumptions can be quite harmful & have consequences effecting many people.

Great story with interesting characters along with revelations that are intriguing as they come to light. Lana the quiet introvert, & Griffin the megastar actor, have more in common with their isolated lives as they have been bound together in a quest to find Lana’s missing sister & connect the dots to a crime syndicate. Also, the fairytale ending makes the story all the more enjoyable.

Fun listen & good story. Virtual voice is only downfall. Would be better listening from a human voice. That said am continuing next book in series.

Reminds me of a Hallmark movie where best friends are placed in the same town, have to work together, & there’s been a conflict when they did get together,that’s put up a wall between them. Sonnet, the main character,has a boyfriend that her biological father has chosen for her. He’s a distasteful,narcissistic character that you know will have to go.While she is smart, she can’t see that her father has made sure she gets an appointment that would have her out of the country while he’s campaigning for US senator.She is his illegitimate child.Her 40 plus mother is pregnant & fighting breast cancer. I was most annoyed how the story goes on and on of how she’s not eating. She would have needed to be hospitalized even in the period this writing took place to get necessary nutrition & hydration.But she delivers a healthy baby early. A reality show & a debate happening in this small town is a bit unreal but makes the story continue.It all has a happy ending, of course.

Virtual voice for me was torture. Just too bland & ruined the story. Could not get into the characters & the kidnapper was just sad in the story. Pie in the sky mayor Holly wants to populate the basically retired island community with families that would own small businesses on the island instead of having resorts that would increase tourist trade & create mor litter on the beaches. Nice if it was feasible. Perhaps if I’d read previous books I would appreciate the tight knit community better, but definitely could not listen to a Virtual Voice book again. Guess I’m a one and done.

For once a great rom-com that doesn’t pit the 2 lovers against each other but each other’s families are so different that Molly, the primary character, can’t take it any longer & explodes causing everyone to reveal secrets that each are harboring. Molly’s secret is revealed immediately to seatmate passenger on an airplane & discovers that person is part of her sister, April’s soon to be family of which his parents are sharing this Christmas house with her sister, the fiancé & parents. Molly is frustrated with her sister’s deferring acquiesces to whatever her fiancé wants her sister to do. Molly has fallen for the seat mate, Liam, & learns his secret. They promise to keep mum on each other’s secrets & not divulge them to each other’s families.The mother-in law is probably the most annoying snob in the story, but compared to all the secrets everyone is harboring, hers is the least significant. All in all a very fun read.

The main character has gone from her home in Miami with her 14 yr old son to run her mother’s Souvenir shop in Nantucket because her mother has broken her arm & needs help.She plans to help for the month of December & return to Miami. She left Nantucket at 18 & only returned for her dad’s funeral in the last 10 years. Her mother makes it very clear that she’s tired & wants to retire. That would mean selling the shop. Maddie is absolutely dumbfounded about her mother doing this. Obviously the only solution would be for Maddie to take over the shop & do improvements she’s even mentioned to her mother. She can’t see the writing on the wall. Of course, there is a guy Ethan in the picture. All I can say is that 2 books & I’m done. Not hard to see how story will play out, but painfully slow getting there.

Started listening on a 4 mile walk & couldn’t stop until it was finished. Love the era of the story & the characters. Reputation was everything in those times & scandal to be avoided at all costs. Didn’t want it to end. The family was successful but obviously was not in the same sphere as the Vanderbilts & Astors of that time. Never read a book where the messes & odors created by the horses in the city was brought to light. Anyway would love a story built around Cedric.
AI voice was ok. Have listened to many AI voices lately & some are a bit trying.
