Moon Shell Beach

Yet another quick read, based on Nantucket and about two women who in the end end up with the people that they were meant to be with. Just takes a few pages to get there!

Barefoot: A Novel

You might be seeing a bit of a pattern here -- and you would be right! This was yet another great "beach read," though I found myself reading it mostly in the living room because it rained out. Again. This was about three women -- two sisters and a friend, who go to Nantucket for the summer with their issues. Oh, and do they have issues! Vicki has lung cancer (and two children) Brenda just got fired from her job as a professor at a college for sleeping with her student and Melanie is pregnant but her husband is having an affair. Then of course, there is the cutie patootie island townie who wants them all. Yeah, like that happens.

Anyway, good read.

Tomasen: Great beach read...and hey...it COULD happen!! LOL

The Beach Club

This was another great read! I stayed up late two nights in a row, unable to put it down.

Mack Peterson has been working at the Beach Club and Hotel for the past 12 years, and has been dating Maribel for six of those years. They are both now 30 and she wants to get married. Badly. Mack lost his parents in a car crash when he was 18 and just left the farm in Iowa and ended up on Nantucket because it was the farthest point East he could go. He is now indispensable at the establishment that is owned by an aging couple with an 18 year old daughter who they want to leave it all to. And she doesn't want it. Maribel wants Mack to ask for profit-sharing, he doesn't care. He also needs to deal with the farm in Iowa. Poor Mack. All he wants to do is his job, and everyone wants him to grow up.

Which he is forced to do. And of course there are other characters who flesh out the book nicely.

Totally recommend it!
