I truly liked this book. It was a bit predicatable, but proved itself to be a good summer read. Nothing deep, but I was drawn to the story through the author's writing. Exactly what I was looking for in a vacation/summer read.

Tagged as a great beach read, disagree. Who wants to be mad at a girl for blindly being in an abusive relationship? And then cry buckets at a sad ending? Not me.

In THE MATCHMAKER, Hilderbrand returns to the elements that made her earlier books so special: a clear love for the people who live (as oppose to play) on Nantucket; food; family; and relationships and mistakes. A nearly perfect read.
A patron review from the Adult Summer Game: "Great descriptions of Nantucket, as are common in this author's books, but a complete tearjerker. Definitely keep tissue on hand!"

This is a wonderfully emotional story about lost love. I love Elin's books. This story is anything but predictable. Be prepared to cry and I mean really cry. I can't remember the last time a book made me cry like this. You will not be…
