Book Tour: Beachcombers Book Review

Want to hear about the latest book that has kept me reading in bed all day? (Well, at least as much as my 8 month old will let me??) Then read on...

Beachcombers by Nancy Thayer is a book about Abbie Fox who hasn’t seen her father or two younger sisters in almost two years, during which she’s jetted around the world and experienced life. But now Lily, the baby of the family, is sending Abbie urgent emails begging her to return home to Nantucket. Their middle sister, Emma, has taken to her bed, emotionally devastated after the loss of her high-powered stockbroker’s job and a shockingly unexpected break-up with her fiancé. Also, Lily is deeply worried that Marina, the beautiful, enigmatic woman renting their guesthouse, has set her sights on the sisters’ widowed father, Jim. The Fox girls closed ranks years ago after the haunting, untimely death of their mother, but seeing their dad move on with his life forces each of them to take stock.

Over the course of the summer, the sisters’ lives grow as turbulent as the unpredictable currents encircling Nantucket. They join forces to make up a company called Nantucket Mermaids where Abbie encounters an incredibly appealing married man, she breaks her own rules in the name of love, fearing all the while that she’ll regret it. Meanwhile, type-A Emma learns a new definition of success, and strong-minded Lily must reconcile her dreams with reality. Even Marina, who has come to Nantucket to forget heartbreak and betrayal, faces an astonishing turn of events that will find her torn between fate and freedom. At summer’s end, these unforgettable women will face profound choices—and undergo personal transformations that will surprise even themselves.

Nancy Thayer is the New York Times bestselling author of Summer House, Moon Shell Beach, The Hot Flash Club, The Hot Flash Club Strikes Again, Hot Flash Holidays, The Hot Flash Club Chills Out, and Between Husbands and Friends. She lives on Nantucket. You can visit Nancy Thayer’s website at http://www.nancythayer.com/.

My Opinion

This book was a great read for me - it was easy to read, had a great storyline, had some romance (ok..a lot of romance!), and reminded me to cherish family!

This book made me want to keep reading and I think I read it one day! I loved the four different storylines Nancy lays out for her readers to follow along with. Unlike some multiply character books that are really hard to follow, this one was really easy to distinguish the different characters, their pasts and their experiences told by the author!

I recommend Beachcombers to all women who want a great rainy day, sunny beach, or anytime read! Make sure you set aside some time though, because you will want to keep reading this one!

Buy It: You can purchase Beachcombers on Amazon.com for $13.75.
