Publisher's summary

Three sisters. An inherited Nantucket restaurant. One year before they can sell.

Mandy, Emma, and Jill are as close as three sisters who live hundreds of miles apart can be. They grew up together on Nantucket, but Mandy is the only one that stayed.

Jill lives a glamorous life in Manhattan as a co-owner of a successful executive search firm. Never married, she is in her mid-30s and lives in a stunning, corner condo with breathtaking views of the city and Hudson river. Everyone thinks there's something going on with her partner, Billy, because as a workaholic, she spends more time with him than anyone else. There never has been, but Jill is starting to wonder if there could be.

Emma lives in Arizona and is an elementary school teacher and an aspiring photographer. She met her college professor husband, Peter, in grad school and they've been married for over 15 years. In recent years, she's noticed that Peter has grown distant. But when he shares a surprising secret, she doesn't see it coming and her world is turned upside down.

Mandy has two children and is married to her college sweetheart, Cory, who runs a wildly successful hedge fund from Nantucket. Now that the children are older, Mandy has more free time and is eager to do more than just volunteer with local charity events. But Cory doesn't want her to work. He thinks it doesn't reflect well on him and appearances are everything to Cory. Though when Mandy finds something unusual in his gym bag, she begins to question what is really going on.

The girls are stunned when they learn about the restaurant, Mimi's Place, and the condition their grandmother added to the will, leaving the restaurant equally to Mandy, Emma, and Jill - and also to Paul, the chef for the past 12 years, and Emma's first love.

it was a good story, but there was no character development. I would have liked to learn more., just all on the surface.

Delightful

A good beach read with three sisters who get along with each other who are experiencing what they each feel is a life that is good, with perhaps a few rough patches. But then their grandmothers will throws them into a real life changing experience. Enjoy this wonderful book with delightful sounding culinary menus and food. The only thing this book needed was recipes!

It's Okay

It's very predictible but it got me through a big tile re-grout project. I did laugh out loud a few times the way the narrator pronounce the Italian food items.

Highly enjoyable

The narration on this book was excellent. The story was easy to follow and entertaining, but the ending was so abrupt I just wasn’t expecting it to be over so soon.

Yummy description of mouth watering food

Great book. 3 sisters lives. Grandma leaves them a restaurant w an agreement they run for a year then they can do what they want with it. She wants them to grow closer. a little tiny secret too. The way they described the dishes has me wanting to try seafood dishes. Shorter book but I enjoyed every minute of it.

Just ok

This book was good but not worth 1 credit. Very predictable, kinda like a Hallmark movie.
