A Nantucket Wedding
A Nantucket Wedding: A Novel | Nancy Thayer
16 posts | 12 read | 1 reading | 9 to read
Wedding bells are ringing, a family is reunited, and new romances are blooming--for better or for worse--in a standalone novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Island House and Secrets in Summer. It's summer on Nantucket and Alison is finally engaged to the love of her life. Things would be perfect--if only she could make peace between her daughters. Felicity, wild at heart yet a loving mother to her own children, and Jane, the extremely organized and high-earning businesswoman, arrive on the island hoping to get through these next few weeks without ruining their mother's big day. But when Felicity's husband reveals a long-term affair and Jane falls for her soon-to-be step-brother, everyone gets way more drama than they bargained for.

I think this book got me out of my reading slump. It was a nice light read.

MuddyPuddle I seem to be craving light reads more and more… 5y

Don‘t you hate when you‘re reading a book and the author has the names of the characters mixed up in the middle of a scene? That‘s happened twice in 6 pages 😑

Rachbb3 That's crazy!! 6y
Samplergal Whaaaaaatttt? Who edited that one? And I was looking forward to that one soon. 6y
MeganAnnabell @Rachbb3 @Samplergal and not even 3 pages later it just said “I‘m got to check my phone” instead of I‘ve got to check my phone 🤦🏻‍♀️ the story is great. I‘m about 80 pages from the end so I guess the editor just got tired or lazy 👎🏻 6y
mrozzz Lol!! Where was the editor for this one?! 6y

Ah, family! What is more special and important and all-encompassing? I love reading about families and Nancy Thayer (once again) has done an outstanding job at creating a family that pulls you in right from the beginning and has you begging to read more about them. The characters are so engaging and have such realistic issues and events, good and bad, that you feel connected to them and can relate. Highly recommended!

As per usual with this author, this was just okay for me. I never really felt invested with any of the characters and several were downright annoying. I may have to cross her off my auto-read list.

An enjoyable read. It went a little deeper than I expected but all in all satisfying.

Really rough afternoon here. I found out a friend passed away after a nearly 1 year fight against brain cancer. She was 2 weeks away from turning 47. So tragic and so unfair. I‘m hoping to just snuggle with my puppies and get lost in a book tonight. My heart is broken for her sister as I know too well the heartbreak she‘s going through. Life is short people, love it and love your people 💔

Quintessential #NancyThayer: Familial strife for likeable, empathetic, flawed characters. Refreshingly, the wedding referenced is that of 55-yr-old widow Alison to 63-yr-old widower David. Alison longs to meld their families & celebrate their having found love again. Read #ANantucketWedding by the pool or, better yet, on the beach!⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sisters Felicity & Jane had never been close until reunited on Nantucket. "They were closer than they had ever been before. Could it be that in growing up they had cast off some of their own jealousies and small-mindedness? It was as if the years had worn away their defenses, insecurities, and differences, and now they were softer, open to the possibilities of a true friendship. . . . Sometimes the workings of the world astonished [Felicity]."
