Good summer beach read. An interesting style of writing, as different characters thoughts are in and out.
The family goes to Spain with baggage, and comes home with reasonable resolutions.
I liked it, and recommended it to others.

This is a good summer read. It's very predictable, but an enjoyable read. I always love reading books set in SC.

This is the first book I have read by Hinton.  While I don't consider it a keeper - in fact most likely I shall give it away - it was a nice, quick read.  Great for the summertime/beach type story.
The setting is North Carolina and the generational story is the kind that I like.  I do believe it bogs down a little and I was able to tell where it was going before it ended.  Otherwise I would have added the fifth star.
Hinton writes in a style that I enjoy. Though the voices of each character seemed realistic, I felt she did use some sterotypical descriptions/actions.  I would read more of her books in the future.

This is a nice summer read, with characters you can care about and a minimum of drama. When you get to the end, you want to see what happens next. In my opinion that is what makes a story successful.

Starts out a little hard to believe, but the plot progresses nicely and the characters are easy to empathize with. I  wouldn't think it so easy to uncover such ancient family history in such a short time,  but it was a fun read. Good book to take to the beach this summer.

Good murder mystery. Hero a little too pat but the story moved smoothly and quickly. A good summer weekend read.

Fun read.  I liked the "down shore" descriptions...a little bit on summer no matter what time of the year you read it.

This book is a good beach read. Not too complicated, characters are kind of hastily drawn. OK for reading in the airport while waiting for your flight.

Light, somewhat suspenseful story.  Good for a summer read.

I received a copy of this book for an honest review.  I have not enjoyed several of the recent books by the author, but I have to say that something about this book caught my interest and kept me reading.  What I most liked about the story was the growth in the central female characters and in the relationships they built and maintained with each other.  There were ups and downs, but they were able to get through their issues and become stronger.  The romance was okay.  Overall, a nice summer read.

It was an enjoyable read even though at times I had to flip back to certain senerios in the book. I would recommend it as a good beach read.

Easy to read, lots of fun, a good summer vacation read. Don't expect any great uplifting ideas.

This is a fun summer read with enjoyable characters. The situations are somewhat realistic, but show the softer, gentler side of survival. I hope the author continue the story as I really want to know what happens to some of the other characters we met in the book.

This was a good summer time read, enough suspense to keep you going, with almost real characters.  Again a good read
