Just as lovely as the previous Beatriz Williams books I have read. However, I wished I had started with The Secret Life of Violet Grant, then this book to end with Along the Infinite Sea. Instead if starting with Along the Infinite Sea, then The Secret Life of Violet Grant and end with this book. Also, as much as I liked Tiny is it Pepper (star of Along the Infinite Sea) that I truly adored!
4.5 stars...Possibly my favorite novel by Beatriz Williams yet. This is the second installment of the Schuyler sisters, the story about Christina " Tiny " Hardcastle, the oldest of the 3 Schuyler sister's. It's the summer of 1966. Tiny and her husband, Frank Hardcastle are on the brink of a wonderful future. They are the ultimate power couple : intelligent, rich and attractive. Frank is destined for leadership and has his sights set on the United States Congress. Tiny presents a perfect camera r...
I've always felt somewhat sorry for people in the public eye. They live without the luxury of secrets or much privacy of any kind really. The world could know at a moments notice. That kind of life takes some tough skin. Christina “Tiny” Hardcastle has the complete opposite of tough skin. She is prim, proper, sweet, submissive, and is married to an up-and-coming politician. She has been carefully groomed for her role of perfect wife but she feels anything but perfect under the firm expectations
I am left speechless after finishing what I consider to be one of the most engrossing novels that I have had the privilege of reading in 2015. The characters and their secrets pulled me into this Kennedy style family and left me feeling so incomplete and lost when the story was done. This book will proudly sit atop my favorite’s shelf and will be read over and over again. The story follows Christina “Tiny” Hardcastle in her life being married to a rising politician and the story is definitely he...
I enjoyed this book. It is the story of Tiny Schuyler Hardcastle, married to Frank who is running for Congress in 1966. She is the perfect wife to the perfect candidate, but both of them are hiding secrets that could destroy them. Just before she married Frank, she met Caspian Harrison in 1964. The book alternates between these two time periods and between Tiny’s POV and Caspian’s POV. This makes for an interesting juxtaposition as to what was happening during this time period. The book just kin...
TINY LITTLE THINGBeatriz WilliamsMs. Williams is fast becoming my go to author when I need an escape and she does a good job.This Kennedy story even set in Cape Cod with a man being groomed to be president by his wealthy father is an excellent look at the extremes the powerful will use. The woman he married has been groomed to be a presidential wife who discovers she doesn't know herself what she wants, and is slowly being strangled.Of course there is the military decorated cousin who sizzles an...
For the longest time I didn't read Women's Fiction, then, I read one of Karen White's book (Long Time Gone) THEN I read 'The Secret Life of Violet Grant' by Beatriz Williams and I was hooked! I always thought it too light for me. I wanted to read something with substance--but here's the thing--I ENJOYED these books. They weren't a chore or something I felt like I had to finish. I liked the characters and the stories.Yes, sometimes there is too much of a 'happy ending' but I haven't found that in...
Secrets. We all have them, don’t we? But some secrets are a bit larger than others.Tiny had a secret from her past that she definitely didn't want to be revealed especially since her husband was running for the Senate. But what is she going to be do with the photographs that keep appearing in her mailbox along with the blackmail notes.Then when the person she thinks sent the photographs appears at a family gathering, things start to get sticky.TINY LITTLE THING is a book that has characters th...
This was a very easy book to read. I enjoyed the story and the descriptive settings. I felt like I really heard each characters voice in the dialogue. It is a "chick-book" that I normally would not read but I'm glad the mom advice book club listed it for February.
Very enjoyable! I’ll be reading more of her books!! Xx
Beatriz Williams does such a great job writing soapish melodrama that's fun and surprising without being mindless.
This is way more like 4.5 stars for me. Beatriz Williams is definitely one of my favorite authors. I have loved every single book she writes! She usually has a new book every summer and they are the best beach reads imaginable. Great story, great characters, great ending and I could not put down!! Definitely recommend!!
