A Fun Read!

This was such a fun read. The book, a story of heartbreak, loss, sweet romance, second chances, forgiveness, and God’s love, is set in Nantucket and has lots of heartwarming and fun characters that instantly become old friends. I think my favorite part was the letters that Emily has from her mother and how she always kept them with her. They were written during Emily’s childhood years, up to the point of her mother’s death, and are little life lessons. They might not always give the best advice but the thought and love behind them is what matters. The children’s musical was a fun little element to the story too. There is some time hopping that gives the reader a bit of backstory to what happened between Emily’s mom, dad, and her grandparents. I definitely recommend this book.
