1: Moon Shell Beach
This was a book I was following in a monthly women's magazine. I liked it so well I decided to buy the book to be able to finish it faster then waiting for it to come every month in the magazine. It was an easy read. I didn't put it down until I finished it.

2: Girlfriend Lit
I have been waiting for another book in the Hot Flash series and so I was disappointed that Moon Shell Beach was not going to be another Hot Flash characters book. I understand Nancy Thayer wanted to write something different. Yes, I did cry at the ending and the book did hold my interest. It's really just a light reading bit of fluff chick lit type of book. I think some of the reviews here are a bit harsh but it is not the authors best work by any means.

3: Deserves better than 1 star!
If anyone has been to Nantucket, this book paints some beautiful images of the island. There could have been more character development, but if you're looking for a light summer read, this book won't disappoint you.

4: Below Expectations
I wasn't impressed with this book. The story wasn't anything wildly interesting or original. The book drags along. It seemed more like a "Lifetime" movie.
This book wasn't worth buying. Check it out at the library for free.

5: Might be the worst book I read in 2008!
I hate to weigh in with such a negative reveiw but I really disliked Moon Shell Beach by Nancy Thayer. Quite frankly I don't even know where to begin to answer why I felt this way, but I will try.
To begin with I felt the story line was implausible and improbable. Yes, I know friends fall in love with each other's boyfriends but to think how two women fell for undeserving Jesse and then to have him run off was just silly. And then the two main characters were so poorly portrayed that I never felt as though I knew them. In addition, I felt as though the ending was pulled out of thin air and was supposed to leave us thinking happy ending? I don't think so.
This is not the first Nancy Thayer book I read but it might be the last. Axctually I wonder if Nancy Thayer was author of this book altogether. I read this book on the basis of her being the author and now I wonder what happened to an author I really enjoyed. Finally, the subject of two friends becoming lifelong friends and role of the beach in their friendship has been done over and over and much better than this, I might add. For some real good reading try Summer Sisters by Judy Blume or Beach Girls by Luanne Rice. Or better yet walk along the beach with a good friend or find one.
