review 1: I really liked this book. It was a quick read, yet touched on some topics we all encounter in our own families, so it makes you think. Family members with all their faults and imperfections, not always doing the right (or even smart) thing, the jealousies, etc. I thought the multi-generational aspect of the 3 main characters was especially interesting, as the ages of the 3 women (mother-in-law, mother, daughter) were 90, 60, and 30-ish, respectively, like in my own family.I think I'd like to check out some of Nancy Thayer's other books now!
review 2: This was a bizarre read for me. It vacillates between clunky and genius. Really... very strange. The sentences and dialogue can be so overwrought, but certain passages are priceless. I liked it overall, but defi... morenitely didn't love it. I suppose anyone who grew up going to the Cape in the summer would appreciate this book, or anyone who likes nice chick-lit fairly-cerebral-romance stories, and family dramas... the characters were largely well-drawn, although so many holes... WHY is Grace like Grace is and how does Nona bear no responsibility? This is never explained and she is left as a caricature of sorts. It's a little bit gross in the way that the people it centers on are gross... the wealth, the over-the-top-ness... but I suppose that's how it really is? Nantucket reds and all... us non-Vineyard-Vines-wearing plebians probably just can't understand. less
