4.5/5 Stars My favorite of Elin Hilderbrand's books! I bought this book to read on the beach in Nantucket (since the book is set in Nantucket) and ended up really enjoying Elin Hilderbrand's writing...I have now read most of her books and plan to read them all!

3/5 Stars. I loved the beginning of the book & fell in love with Alice's character. As the book progressed, I found myself less attached to the characters and I did not care for the ending (from the time she becomes First Lady to the end). For me, knowing the book is loosely based on the life of Laura Bush enhanced my enjoyment of the book.
Olive Kitteridge: FictionOlive Kitteridge: Fiction by Elizabeth Strout
Buy new: $8.40 / Used from: $3.49
4/5 Stars I had really high expectations because the book won a Pullitzer Prize. The book is well-written and the stories were intriguing. It was a fast, entertaining read, but not a 5/5 star book.

2/5 Stars Not the beach read I was expecting. It was written well, but it was a dark, depressing book. Would not recommend it.
