Summer People: A Novel

Rating:
Summary: Great Beach Read!
Review: Have read the previous two books by Hilderbrand and am happy to say that this new title does not disappoint, in fact it is even better. The story lines are rich but not overbearing in the least. I read this book while vacationing on the Cape and enjoyed every minute. The scenery description is vivid and the characters are not only believable but loveable. You want to become a guest at the summer home and try to help the characters through each of their own trials and tribulations. This book packed not one but three steamy romances that are sure to make a hot summer night even hotter. Definitely check this one out and don't forget if you liked this one, there are two other Nantucket books by the same author. Enjoy!

Summary: MY FAVORITE BOOK FOR THE "SUMMER OF 2003"
Review: Last summer, I read Nantucket Nights, also by Elin Hilderbrand, and it was my favorite book for the "Summer of 2002." When I heard that she had a new book coming out for this summer, I had hopes that it might be almost as good as last summer's favorite but had never anticipated that it would be even better. I can honestly say that I could not put this book down -- that's how good it was.

As proven in her previous books, Hilderbrand is a master at dealing with family dynamics. In the opening of this book, Beth Archer and her two teenage children are leaving their luxury Manhattan apartment and are heading to their Nantucket summer home. This will be the first time, however, that she is returning as a widow -- her husband recently died in a plane crash just months ago. Also accompanying her and her 17 year old twins is Marcus, another 17 year old from Queens whose mother has just been convicted of murder. The recently deceased Archer Newton was defending Marcus' mother at the time of his death and, before he died, he had extended the invitation to Marcus. Beth feels it's only right to honor this invitation if for no other reason than to fulfill her dead husband's wishes.

The next few months will see the twins exploring new relationships while Beth learns to deal with life without her partner. Hilderbrand is great at filling her books with hot summers spent on Nantucket island where past secrets abound waiting to be revealed. This book is no exception as the reader will find secrets hiding in every chapter. While this is an "excellent" beach read, I'd recommend it anytime of the year.

I'd also like to add that the covers of all of Hilderbrand's books are so appealing that I'm drawn to each and every one of them. So can you judge a book by its cover????? In Hilderbrand's case you can.
