This book was absolutely stunning and not just because of the diamonds. I loved the dual settings of New York and the Cape. I also really enjoyed the multiple POV's as well as the flashbacks and current time. The central focus of the jewelry company with family as the connection was so well done. I feel like Jamie's stories always have such a pull and this one did not disappoint. Gemma was such a headstrong character and I really enjoyed a look into what goes into designing jewelry. I loved that the book was female-centric and how each character was so unique. Celeste's belief in astrology and tarot was so great and I liked that little aspect. This was the perfect summer story and I couldn't stop reading. Celeste, Elodie, and Gemma came such a long way and the ending was wrapped up so beautifully. This book had drama, emotion and a great deal of healing and family love. I loved it so much.
