The Island

by Elin Hilderbrand

I love this author - the penultimate in summer reading!  Her books are easy, fun, with dreamy settings in Nantucket that make this displaced Yankee long for summers by the rocky shores of Massachusetts.  In this latest novel, we see a weaving of four independent stories into one.  With a 3rd person omniscient point of view, we become voyeuers into their most private thoughts, and this leads to some very engaging chapters!

At its heart is a love story, or more accurately, four love stories.  There are some surprises throughout, there are areas of predictability, but overall this is a supremely satisfying summer read!  I loved it, and was very sorry to see the story end.
