The family story was interesting, though it went slowly and didn't really grab me. I also didn't love Maddie's character. It picked up more at the end, though it was a bit strange. There is a fair amount of discussion about the Wampanoag tribe and their history/culture/customs, and that was my favorite part of the book. Since first novels in a series can be slow as they introduce characters and backstory, I'll read the next book to see how that one lands for me.

We are here for the wild ride as Annie Sutton's life continues on Martha's Vineyard. I don't think anyone's situation is untouched in this installmentWe are here for the wild ride as Annie Sutton's life continues on Martha's Vineyard. I don't think anyone's situation is untouched in this installment of the series, but that's how life is - there's always something going on. It took me a couple of books to really warm up to the characters in the series, but by now I really enjoy them and their interactions. I'm not sure if this is the end of the series or not, but I can see this ending going either way. I hope it's not, because with the plethora of books set on Nantucket, I really love the Martha's Vineyard setting. Thanks to Netgalley and Kensington Books for the advance digital copy!...more
