One Summer



I have very little to say about this book. I read it for my book club and hated it. The writing was boring, the story line was OVERLY predictable and it seemed like a romance novel gone bad. 
I would not recommend it to anyone. Ha!

The Island



Another book about the Cape from Hilderbrand. I think this book was interesting. There were twist and plot changes that I just was not expecting. The author makes you like and hate each of the four main characters during different points through out the book.
Birdie and India are the older set of sisters. Birdie is newly divorced with 2 daughters, Tate and Chess. Tate is a successful single computer programmer and Chess a editor for a food magazine just broke off her engagement. India is now widowed but successful in the art / teaching world. India is finding herself later in life and battling some demons.
The reader finds out many fun family facts and secrets. We learn why all the women decided it was the time to return to the Island after 13 years of not going to their summer home. Of course the book ends with everyone happy and doing better than when the book started
This book, like most of Hilderbrands books are good summer reads.
