Synopsis

Nan is an independent, free-spirited woman who couldn't care less what people think about her living alone in her beloved beach house. But when she discovers that the money she was relying on is running out and her house might be at stake, she knows that something has to change. Nan decides to rent out rooms in her house for the summer and soon people start moving in, filling it with noise, laughter and tears. Among them is Daniel, a recently separated father of two young girls, who's struggling to find out who he really is, and Daff, the single mother of a truculent teenager who blames her mother unreservedly for the divorce. As the house comes to life again, Nan finds her family extending. Her son, Michael, comes home for the summer and then an unexpected visitor turns up, turning all their lives upside down.

About this title

Review:

A corker of a story, sharply and elegantly told (Heat )

A delicious treat confirming that Green is still queen of chick lit (In Style )

From the Back Cover:

One summer a group of strangers - each with their own reasons for wanting to step out of their busy lives - meet at a rented beach house in sunny Nantucket, owned by the mischievous and free-spirited Nan. There's Daniel, who's causing heartbreak for his wife Bee; recently divorced Daff, who feels she's lost touch with her daughter Jess; and Michael - Nan's son - who is having an ill-advised fling with his boss.

With so many lost souls gathered under one roof, very soon there are tears and laughter, friendship and - for some - even love. Each one of them is hoping for a new beginning. But will any of them find it?
