I re-read A Summer Affair in preparation for the last Nantucket book (Swan Song). The characters were very unlikable and if that was the Hilderbrand’s intent then she succeeded! There were a few loose ends—I would have like an epilogue to know what happened to certain characters. The plot was about an affair. It was like reading a soap opera—very entertaining. There were no dull moments. The author has a way of describing that unfolds a movie in your mind. Not one of my favorite Hilderbrand reads but it was solid.
