Emily Porter and Maggie McIntyre became fast friends when they met as children on the island of Nantucket, where Emily's family vacationed every summer. Maggie's family is from the island, with her single mother being the local seamstress, and she and her brother, Ben, both working to keep the family afloat financially. Emily comes from wealth and as a result their friendship is frowned on by the Porter family. When Emily falls for Ben, Maggie couldn't be happier. Now they can finally be real sisters, not just "Nantucket sisters," as they dubbed themselves as youngsters. But things begin to unravel between the girls as Emily and Ben's relationship stalls when Emily's pursuit of an advanced degree and Ben's pride and lack of money become roadblocks. The women's friendship is once again put to the test with the introduction of handsome Wall Street trader Cameron Chadwick. They are forced to make decisions, to keep secrets, and finally to discover the truth needed to make a friendship last.
VERDICT Thayer keeps readers on the edge of their seats with her dramatic story spanning the girls' childhood to adulthood. This wonderful beach read packs a punch.
