    About this audiobook

    The New York Times bestselling author of Nantucket Sisters whisks readers away to the island of Nantucket in this delightful story about two single parents who accidentally rent the same house one sunny summer.

    Wendy Anderson is 35, the mother of two children, and happily married—until she discovers her husband Zack has cheated on her. Confused, angry, and lost, she rents a house on Nantucket for two summer months. When she and her children arrive at Isle Stay, she discovers that Trevor Black, 30, recently widowed, and his son Dylan, 5, have also rented the house. Neither one is willing to give up their much-needed vacations, so Wendy and Trevor devise a plan to share the house for the summer. Preparing meals in their one kitchen, Wendy and Trevor become friends, and chemistry builds throughout the seabreezy summer. But the house is full of their children, and neither is sure they’re ready to move on after recent heartbreaks. Over the last sun-soaked weekend of the summer, as chaos reigns and emotions run as high as the temperatures, Wendy must decide where her heart truly lies.

      Predictable to a point, but a lovely easy listen to get lost in!
    • 3/5
      Not sure why I keep reading her books. The narration is abysmal and the characters are not very likable. But, they put me to sleep quickly and I probably will listen to another..
    • 1/5
      The story seemed fine but I do not like the narrator’s version of the main character. It’s very off putting. Stopped listening a few chapters in.
    • 5/5
      Lovely story and well narrated. The final was at top!
