Many thanks to NetGalley, Gallery Books, and Brooke Lea Foster for the opportunity to read and review her debut novel - 4.5 stars for a great escape to the past on Martha's Vineyard.
Heddy didn't have an easy time growing up, with her single mom working two jobs just to try and scrape by. When Heddy gets a scholarship to attend Wellesley, she finally feels like her mom's investment in her will pay off. Her roommate helps her get a job as a nanny for a wealthy family on Martha's Vineyard for the summer. When she finds out that her scholarship has been revoked, Heddy is desperate to come up with a plan to fix her life. Seeing how the rich live, she thinks maybe she could marry a wealthy man to solve all her issues. But no one is truly as they seem and money doesn't seem to buy happiness for anyone she meets.
This is a wonderfully-written coming-of-age novel that really transports you back in time to a summer spent on the island with the rich and famous. You can feel the ocean and taste the lobster rolls! A fabulous debut - can't wait to read more from this author!
