She also meets a new man, courtesy of her bestie, who she's also attracted to I understand what's- there is a lot of different storylines with the kids, her mother-in-law and the ex-husband and his new girlfriend. It's a very, very good summer read, awesome for the beach., awesome for the pool Thayer does it again! Highly recommend

Thank you, net galley for an arc.in exchange for an honest review

Nancy Thayer out did herself. Summer Light on Nantucket is one of her best books. I loved getting to know Blythe and her 4 kids. I enjoyed seeing how her summer evolved - seeing how she navigated an old love and a new one. Blythe handled motherhood like no other. I wish the story would have not ended. Thank you NetGalley for the ARC. And thank you Nancy Thayer for an excellent story!

Summer Light on Nantucket is another light-hearted read from one of my favorite authors. Typical family life with the typical drama queen teenage antics, and secrets revealed. New love and remembering the love of an old flame. It's all here in a beachy Nantucket setting of sea breezes and warm sunshine. I didn't want this book to end. Thanks to the author Nancy Thayer, Random House/ Ballantine Books, and NetGalley. I received a complimentary copy of this ebook. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

A wonderful portrayal of modern families.
Blythe is a divorced Mom of 4 heading for a summer in Nantucket at her house that was left to her by her Grandma. She has memories of her first love from high school, Aaden. He left her to go to Ireland with his family and stayed. Both married and divorced during the years apart.
He turns up in Nantucket and wants her back.
She also meets a new man Nick and falls for him.
All this creates confusion along with the regular confusion of life with children.
Delightful storyline. Beautifully written, like being
in Nantucket myself. I loved it.

Blythe is a divorced mom of four heading to Nantucket for the summer. The chaos of the kids, her unexpected reunion with her first love, an attraction to a new man, her friendship with her ex mother in law….this book will keep you entertained! Nancy Thayer is tried and true for stories of family, summer, and Nantucket. This one is no exception. A great summer read!

I am a HUGE fan of Nancy Thayer and her novels. She evokes something magical with her pen about the places she writes about. It was dreamy to retreat to a summery Nantucket while the world seemed to freeze and I swear I could feel the warm breeze on me as I sat alongside Blythe on the beach! I also want to find this magical tiny bedroom where she spent her childhood years and curl up there with a book!

While I loved all the scenic settings the romance didn't woo me like hers normally do but it could be the fault of the dragon story I read prior to this book.

If you need an escape book though this is it!

Thank you to NetGalley and Ballantine for an eARC copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review.

This book was an easy read that made me want to be at the beach in summertime. The main character Blythe has he hands full with five kids and two men who want her in their lives. The book moved at a good pace and ended sweetly. Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced copy for my honest review.

Blythe and her family of four children are on Nantucket for the summer. Each of her children have distinct personalities, so it’s easy to remember who’s who. She has been divorced for a few years and is re-awakening and ready to consider the possibility of love in her life again. And the book takes off from there. I enjoyed this latest from Nancy Thayer, one of the queens of the beach read genre. The main plot line as well as each subplot kept me interested, and I finished this book in less than 24 hours. I will say the plot didn’t go where I expected, and I like that. I particularly enjoyed the character of Celeste; we should all be lucky enough to have a Celeste in our lives! The story is believable and moved at a good pace. I definitely recommend this book because I could relate to more than one character and for the other reasons previously noted. An easy, enjoyable read — the only thing better would have been to actually be on the beach while I was reading it!

First love or true love, Blythe must decide what she wants in life. A few years after her divorce, she has decided it is time to find someone else to love. Follow Blythe in making decisions for her family, her ex-husband and her ex-mother in law.

I felt completely transported to Nantucket as Blythe decides what is best for her. A sweet read, a beach read, a need to feel something kind of book. Nancy Thayer does it again.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC. So glad that I didn't wait to read this.

I received a free copy of, Summer Light on Nantucket, by Nancy Thayer, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Blythe is recently divorced living in Boston with her four children, and working as a teacher. Summers are spent in Nantucket. This book had a lot going on, love teenage drama, summer, health issues, etc. This was a very good read.

Three years after her divorce, Blythe arrives on Nantucket with her four children, ready to embrace the possibilities of the season. Unexpectedly, she crosses paths with her high school sweetheart, who hopes to rekindle their romance, while also catching the eye of a charming summer visitor introduced by a close friend. As if that weren’t enough, her mother-in-law’s hospitalization brings her ex-husband back into the picture, creating a whirlwind of emotions and challenges. While the story leans toward predictability, its heartfelt moments and cozy narrative make it a quintessential feel-good read—perfect for a summer escape.

Thank you Net Galley for this copy of Summer Light on Nantucket by Nancy Thayer. Divorced Blythe and her four children are headed to Nantucket for the summer. Between her oldest teenager's angst over her boyfriend, and the usual childhood ups and downs of her other three children, Blythe's summer has thrown in some other complications as well. Her first love shows up, but she finds she is also attracted to someone else. She spends the rest of her summer debating with some decisions she needs to make about the direction she wants out of life.
This is a typical beach read, meaning a very predictable and repetitive plot with likable enough characters.

A charming novel about Blythe, a divorced mother of 4, who spends a summer in Nantucket reshaping her life. I always love Thayer’s novels and this was no exception. The main character is in her 40’s and she has a warm relationship with her still vibrant, beautiful former mother-in-law who is in her 70’s, a demographic I appreciated!

Blythe is confronted by her first great love, Aaden, who is on Nantucket as well as a new romance with a widower. These men have brought romance back into her life, and presented her with a giant decision. Her children have the normal teen and pre-teen issues, which are dealt with by Blythe and her mother wisdom.

I loved the characters and the kindness and warmth that were exhibited in all the relationships. I enjoyed this novel and recommend it as a great beach read.

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this novel.

I always enjoy Nancy Thayer's books, and this one was no exception. Divorced mom of four, Blythe, goes to Nantucket to her family home to spend the summer. Her children are old and keep themselves busy with many activities. Meanwhile, she runs into her high school boyfriend Aaden and meets a new man, Nick. Does she even have time for romance as a busy mom? And if so, who should she pick? Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. I have always loved books by author Nancy Thayer. This one was forced, and I honestly do not know what the book was about. Extremely boring.

another wonderful book in true Nancy Thayer style. Summer on Nantucket, with descriptions that make you feel like you are there, and characters who you want to be friends with.

Nancy Thayer novels always pull me in with her well developed characters and the storylines. I can almost guess the outcomes but I have a wonderful time getting there! Thanks for the chance to enjoy a summer romance in the thick of winter!

This book publishes in April and will be a great beach read for the warmer months. Blythe Benedict is a divorcee and mother to 4 growing children. She juggles work, teenagers, and family drama, but loves their summer on Nantucket in her family home. The summer fun and busy time jumps off of the pages and provides a nice getaway.

Great summer read perfect description of summer is like on Nantucket, great descriptive writing of the way life is on the island.
