I loved this book and would recommend it for anyone who cares about their friends. The description of the scenery is breathtaking as well. I will definitely read this book again.

A new author for me to enjoy!
A perfect beach read. I guess you could call it chick lit but on more of an upscale level. After about 20 pages I was thoroughly sucked into the book. I have to admit at first I wasn't too fond of the main three characters: the frequently vomiting pregnant friend, the beautiful, self-absorbed younger sister, and the martyred, ill older sister. It seemed like they only tolerated each other and I began to wonder if I would barely be able to tolerate them too but after a while we learn more about the characters, to appreciate them, and really get into the story . I usually read a book over the period of a week but finished this in two days (and that's with a bad cold!). Only one thing I would like to know, where were the mature 22 year old guys like Josh when I was in my 20s? and maybe my early 30s? ;-)
This won't be my last Hilderbrand book.

Wonderful book for all that love Elin Hilderbrand. She is a wonderful person to follow and enjoy her books. I just purchased her last book and can't wait too read. All ladies out there should purchase her books and sit back and enjoy a wonderful day with this author.
