 Nantucket Blue is a great story and definitely a book that epitomizes a summer read. While the book's plot does circle around some less than happy subjects (broken friendship & divorce), it makes up for it with a highly memorable setting and an adorable summer romance. 
 Cricket Thompson doesn't start her summer off on a good foot but that doesn't stop her from persevering forward and making the best out of a crappy situation. This is what I love about her. She does her own thing, has her own mantra, and makes for an extremely likable character. She's smart, witty, and down to earth, and I became quickly attached to her. 
 Aside from Cricket, the romance and setting are my other favourite features. Though she believes it should be an off limits situation, her new relationship is nothing but sweet and adorable. Nantucket is made a memorable location and one where I would love to now visit. The descriptions allowed me to clearly envision this summer paradise and appreciate it as much as Cricket did. 
 The only thing I didn't like: Jules. 
 A fabulous story and debut! I highly recommend this as a perfect summer read!
