Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House | Ballantine for gifting me a digital ARC of this contemporary family drama by Sarah MacLean. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars rounded up!
Alice has been estranged from her family but returns to their private island off Rhode Island after the sudden death of her father. Unlike her, the rest of the Storm siblings - Greta, Sam, and Emily - had stayed and revolved their lives around their father, vying for attention, approval, and billions of dollars. Alice just wants to survive the funeral and go back to her life in Brooklyn. But her father had other plans. Always one to make his children compete against each other, he has one final game for them from the grave - and all that money is on the line.
I have never read Sarah MacLean's historical fiction novels, but I really enjoyed this contemporary one! I'm always up for some messy family drama and the Storm family had that in spades! Plus, it's a look into the uber-rich family lifestyle with all the luxuries and issues that go along with that. But all families, regardless of wealth, deal with similar issues, just not quite in the way that the patriarch of this family dealt with them. There's a lot of emotions between these siblings as they deal with their grief and moving forward that felt real, and the ending was perfect.
