This was the first book of Delinsky's that I'd read. It centered around a strong, intelligent woman and I really enjoyed it. I'll be reading more of her books for sure.

I am never disappointed by a Barbara Delinsky & I wasn't this time, either. In a word - fabulous! Delinsky always brings additional depth to her stories with her rich, authentic settings, background information & wonderful, "real" characters. Not only does this one get my recommendation, but also my Mom's & my best friend's.

I thought this was one of her better books.

This would be a good "beach read" or even a "snuggle down by a winter's fire" read. It has all the elements for a journey beyond the immediate; Maine, lobster fishermen, questions about family history and of course, romance. Good writing and a good additon to a book bag.

A book that made me think...how would I react if the same situations came along and how would I live my life. A good book to take to the beach.

This book made me remember the summer my husband and I spent vacationing with our children and his relatives in Maine. It's a book you'll love to spend your time with and soak up all the details. It starts with a boating accident but you'll love the changes all the characters go through.

This novel pulls you in from the very first page. Well written with interesting characters and thought-provoking story.

I liked the idea of this book but i was boring an anticlimatic. The only redeeming quality is Delinsky is a good writer.
