Another Great Macomber Book

Publisher's summary
"The queen of beach books" (The Star-Ledger) returns to the shores of Nantucket in a novel about one memorable summer when flirtations flourish, family dramas play out, and scandalous secrets surface.
Memorial Day weekend means that seasonal visitors have descended on the glamorous island of Nantucket. For year-round resident Darcy Cotterill, it means late-night stargazing in the backyard of the beautiful house she grew up in and inherited from her beloved grandmother. It's also Darcy's chance to hit the beach and meet her new summertime neighbors. But the last person the thirty-year-old librarian expects to see staying next door is her ex-husband, Boyz, along with his wife, Autumn, and stepdaughter, Willow.
Darcy must also navigate the highs and lows of a new romantic relationship with local carpenter Nash Forester even as she becomes smitten with handsome vacationer Clive Rush, a musicologist in town to write a book and visit family. And she finds herself pulled into the concerns of Boyz, Autumn, a charming elderly neighbor, and an at-risk teen.
As the season nears its end, Darcy must decide her next move: retreating to the comforts of her steady and secure island life, or risking it all for a chance at true happiness.

Not one of Nancy Thayer’s best
I stuck with this until the bitter end constantly hoping the characters would evolve. The leading lady was weak, and annoying at times. I found myself rolling my eyes at her pathetic self talk & so wishing she would have had even the smallest of backbones! I wish Nancy Thayers would’ve developed a stronger female character for this book. Lots of missed opportunities. The story was stale at times. And just plain annoying. Take a pass on this one!

Secrets in Summer
I loved this story about a woman who has finally found herself after a terrible first marriage. I loved that Darcy was still open to find love. I loved the vivid descriptions of the ocean and landscape. The narrator did an excellent job of expressing the emotions and feelings of all the characters. I look forward to listening to more stories from this author and this narrator.

Ok for a beach read
This was an odd story and at times just plain silly - and a bit all over the place. characters weren’t terribly well-developed. It was ok for a ‘beach read’ as long as you don’t expect too much. Narrator over-did character voices making them all sound like caricatures.

Really really good story! I enjoyed it more than I have any for quite a while. It was in large part because of Amy McFadden the narrator, she is so good! I appreciate her more because there were three books before this not necessarily Nancy’s but others that sounded really good but I couldn’t stand the narrator so I just didn’t listen. So thank you Nancy for having Amy McFadden For your wonderful stories!

Enjoyable read
What did you like best about this story?
The characters are engaging and the story keeps moving along. A little too "sweet" for my taste, but was a decent read. The ending was terrible--simply patched up to make everyone happy after after sort of thing. Not much thought, but still wasn't a bad "beach" read!
