This novel is quite the journey. The story follows four women: Abbie, Emma, Lily, and Marina. The four of them are all faced with struggles, and they each end up on Nantucket Island.
Abbie, Emma, and Lily are sisters and their father, Jim, lives on the island. Lily, the youngest, has stayed with him. However, Emma had gone of to Boston to work and live with her fiancee, and Abbie was in Europe as a nanny. Marina is already a middle-aged adult, but she spent her college summers on the island waitressing with her best friend.
This summer, different life events bring all four women together on the island. Emma loses her job in the fall of '09 and her fiancee breaks off their engagement, sending her back home in a pit of depression. This leads Lily to call Abbie back home, in hopes of making Emma feel better, and help out with their father's financial problems. Marina's husband asks for a divorce after 10+ years of marriage, sending Marina on a journey to get away from everything she currently knows, which causes her to rent the girls' old Playhouse from Jim.
The four women go on an awesome summer adventure as they all try to find themselves. The four women end up growing, falling in love, forging new friendships, and fulfilling dreams. It's definitely another chick novel, soul-searching and heart-wrenching. I thoroughly enjoyed it and 100% recommend it!!!
