As the 1938 hurricane approaches Rhode Island, another storm brews in this New York Times bestselling beach read from the author of The Golden Hour and Husbands & Lovers.

Lily Dane has returned to Seaview, Rhode Island, where her family has summered for generations. It's an escape not only from New York's social scene but from a heartbreak that still haunts her. Here, among the seaside community that has embraced her since childhood, she finds comfort in the familiar rituals of summer.

But this summer is different. Budgie and Nick Greenwald--Lily's former best friend and former fianc?--have arrived, too, and Seaview's elite are abuzz. Under Budgie's glamorous influence, Lily is seduced into a complicated web of renewed friendship and dangerous longing.

Customer Reviews

Loved this book!

The writing jumps back and forth from Past to present. Normally I struggle with that but the way this is written I couldn’t wait to get from one era to the other! Highly recommend this book.

Movie Material?

At first, I was a little bit bored, but any avid reader knows you should at least read the first 50 pages before deciding to stop, and I am glad I did! I wound up really liking this book and all of its love triangles. I feel like this one would make for an interesting movie.

I cannot believe this was a bestseller! Too predictable!
