Summary: A book that will keep you reading.
Comment: I loved reading this book. It explores the lives and secrets of several people at the beach club. The real drama starts when these peoples lives become intertwined; it shakes up the entire beach club and staff as well. A few characters find themselves at crossroads and have to make decisions that will change the course of their lives. But the author does a good job in making the novel a fun, exciting read rather than a tear jerker.

Summary: A Great Summer Read!
Comment: This book was my first read by Ms. Hilderbrand, and I am hooked! I love her writing style, her story kept me captivated the entire story, I even stayed up until 1am finishing The Beach Club, wanting to find out what happens between Mack and Maribel, Jem, Love and Vance. I loved all the characters equally, and was happy to see Maribel find happiness in the end, as well as Mack find his place. The book was a great read! I'm already started on Hilderbrand's Nantucket Nights!

Summary: The first one I read of hers
Comment: This is yet another good book by this author. I really love her books!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Book is a Bust!
Comment: I really enjoyed "Barefoot" and "Summer People". This book, I did NOT like. The characters were uninteresting and annoying. The were characters that had nothing to do with the story, yet it dragged on and on (Lacey). The story drifted off too many times. There was no purpose. I had to struggle to finish this one.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Summer Lite
Comment: Pure beach read. Nice sense of summer life at a Nantucket resort. Not nearly as well crafted as her newest book (The Love Season) but worthy as the perfect tonic for a relaxing summer day.
