Well, this was definitely better than Barefoot. I think the character development was much better, and I was much more interested in the plot. Though, I thought the ending was a bit of a let-down. That was disappointing. But, I enjoyed the way the story was written - changing back and forth between narrators.

I do feel like the lifestyle on the East coast that is represented in the novel is a bit cliche. It was much worse in Barefoot, but still, all of this picnic, sailing, seafood, Nantucket cottage business is a bit unoriginal. But, despite all of that, I liked it and would read more of her in the future.
