28 Summers by Elin Hilderbrand Review Rating
This story will sweep you up and won’t put you down until the find page is read. This was my first novel by Elin Hilderbrand, and it was everything I didn’t know I needed. One thing is definitely for sure I want to go to Nantucket Island like yesterday. The detail of the island and the places there capture you in every way. You can even smell the salty ocean breeze and feel the fresh air against your skin.
The storyline (because I am a romantic reader) was gut-wrenching because I so badly wanted Jake to step up. I wanted the affair to end and them to live happily ever after. But it’s the magic they hold in that one weekend that drives the book and essentially their story. The events in between sweep you up into their lives and make you question your own.
I found myself with the question: would you want one weekend a year with your soulmate or an unhappy marriage?
I think Mallory and Jake were both strong characters and written beautifully. Even if you don’t agree with their faults, you’ll see why they do what they did. I love how the beginning of each summer, we get an overview of what has been going on and what people are talking about during that time.
If you don’t have this novel, I recommend picking it up. It’s a fun, unique, romantic read that is unlike any other book I’ve read!
