Summerland by Elin Hilderbrand



 
 
Another great summer read by Elin Hilderbrand. Thank you!
 
I picked this one up at my local Rite Aid because I saw it and that was the end of it. So saving a few bucks buying something at the Goodwill or off someone else's shelf didn't apply.
 
Note to self: If you see a Hilderbrand, grab it, and go straight home and begin reading it. Who cares if it cost $14.99 in paperback? Other things on your list to do? Really? Go hide, don't pass Go and don't collect $100. Curl up in your favorite reading spot and pretend you are without phone, TV or internet. It's just you and the paper you hold in your hands bound together to make a page turner that you get caught up in and sleep is something you can dream about.
 
OK, so you could wait and check it out at your neighborhood library but some things just can't wait. Am I right?
 
Again, Elin caught the summer fever in a small town, this time Nantucket, that gets too crowded during the summer tourist season when all the people from up North migrate south to fill up the parking spaces and the local hang outs.
 
But this summer it begins at the end of school and graduation when life begins for some and ends for others.
 
Tragedy strikes and the lives of the locals travel in different directions from what had been planned. Does it pull everyone together or pull them apart?
 
You'll have to read to find out and you won't want to put this one down.
