Summary:
Family and friends gather together each year in Nantucket
to celebrate the winter stroll weekend. The Winter Street Inn owner, Kelley
Quinn, reflects on all of his family’s drama as he writes his annual holiday
letter. He is finally single and he repaired his relationship with his first
wife, Margaret. Their son, Kevin, just had a baby girl with his girlfriend, who
is also the inn’s keeper. Kelley and Margaret’s daughter Ava has a new beau, a
colleague from her school.
This year everyone is
gathering together to celebrate Kevin’s daughter’s baptism. Kelley’s hopes of a
peaceful holiday go out the window when his estranged second wife shows up. She
is the mother of Kelley’s youngest child, Bart, who is missing. With jealousy,
old and new lovers, and family tragedy abound, the family might not survive the
holiday intact.
Pros:
· Hilderbrand
did a wonderful job of crafting a winter wonderland town.
· The
drama keeps you interested but leaves you with a cozy feeling.
· It
focused on a variety of generations which was a nice change from most romance
novels.
Cons:
· The
only downside is that the ending was rather abrupt. When I bought the book I
didn’t realize it was a series; it does not seem to be marketed that way. I
expected more closure.
Final
Thoughts:
This
was a lovely, quick holiday read. I will definitely be adding the sequel to my
TBR pile for next Christmas.
