This is my first Elin Hildebrand book, and it won’t be my last. I really love stories set in Massachusetts because I live here. The storyline was different than most romances, and I enjoyed it. I know some people didn’t understand the “same time, next year” concept, but I thought it worked.

Mallory meets Jake at her brother’s bachelor weekend. He’s in an on again off again relationship, but it’s off when they meet. These two decide to do a same time next year relationship where they meet Labor Day weekend in Nantucket every year regardless of their relationship status. It goes through 28 summers of their time together.

I liked both Mallory and Jake as characters. I did wish they would just get together, but that wasn’t the point of the book. Mallory’s son, Link was another character I actually liked.

Elin Hildebrand knows how to write romance, and I liked that she took a different spin on this one.
