As the 1938 hurricane approaches Rhode Island, another storm brews in this New York Times bestselling beach read from the author of The Golden Hour and Husbands & Lovers. Lily Dane has returned to Seaview, Rhode Island, where her family has summered for generations. It’s an escape not only from New York’s social scene but from a heartbreak that still haunts her. Here, among the seaside community that has embraced her since childhood, she finds comfort in the familiar rituals of summer. But this summer is different. Budgie and Nick Greenwald—Lily’s former best friend and former fiancé—have arrived, too, and Seaview’s elite are abuzz. Under Budgie’s glamorous influence, Lily is seduced into a complicated web of renewed friendship and dangerous longing. As a cataclysmic hurricane churns north through the Atlantic, and uneasy secrets slowly reveal themselves, Lily and Nick must confront an emotional storm that will change their worlds forever...READERS GUIDE INCLUDED

"I heard this was THE book of the summer to read so I downloaded it when it was the kindle daily deal. It had everything I wanted for a summer read - a period piece, romance, scandal, rich people,a natural disaster - what could go wrong. This book started out strong in my opinion, that is why it is getting 3 stars. By the end though, I think I hated every character. Lily was quite possibly the dumbest character ever - she couldn't figure out anything that was going on, no matter how obvious. KiKi was way too annoying to even care about. I kept hoping throughout the book that she would die in the hurricane that was coming. By the end, everyone was either only good or evil (no depth at all) and the epilogue was so pointless and sugary sweet it actually made the book worse and ruined the whole thing."
