My take:  When Sophie Anderson discovers her husband of sixteen years plans to ask for a divorce she takes up a friend’s offer for her and the two kids to rent a rambling Nantucket cottage for the summer. So she’s completely caught off guard when Trevor Black and his young son arrive at the same time to rent the same cottage. They decide to make the best of the situation and the two families form an unexpected bond. The Guest Cottage is a perfect beach book. It’s about family and love (on a few levels), finding new freedom and moving forward. Nancy Thayer’s descriptive prose made me feel like I was relaxing on one of the Nantucket beaches enjoying a wonderful holiday. Toss this book in the beach bag this summer. You’ll be glad you did!

  7. I used to read Nancy Thayer when she first started writing years ago and she wrote stories centering on troubled women and their families and friends. She seems to have shifted towards seasonal stories: Thanksgiving, Christmas, summer vacation, and that is fine with me. Sounds like a good book for by the beach, the pool, the lake. Thanks, Mary!
