Not much to say about this one. This was a slow (very slow) book and you don't even get what is going on and then the book focuses on a mystery of a missing woman. I didn't really care for the hero (Jack) in this one (he was verbally abusive I found and just a jerk) and I thought the heroine (Mallory) could do better. I honestly think this whole thing read like a very bad soap opera with a lot of misconceptions that could have been fixed if all characters had a honest talk. I didn't like the res...

Mallory has been estranged from her father and two sisters and hasn’t been back to the beach town where she grew up in almost twenty years. When she gets a call saying her elderly father’s dementia is worsening, she returns home, where family conflict and secrets from twenty years ago begin to rear their heads. This was an interesting, character-driven novel that is a good read if you like books that take their time to unravel. I loved the descriptions and emotional component of it. There were p...

I have read Barbara Delinsky's novels in the past and enjoyed them. This one, however, was very disappointing. The story line was all over the place and I found the characters unbelievable.

Can you believe this is my first Barbara Delinsky novel? She is a wonderful writer!This one started off a bit slow but then took right off. I was so immersed into the story and family drama. This story had a bit of everything. A beautiful setting on the shores of Rhode Island, a diverse set of characters in a dysfunctional family and a pinch of mystery.This is the story of three sisters who return to their family home in Rhode Island after twenty years of being away. Their father is now sick and...

I won this book in a goodreads giveaway.Thank you St. Martins Press. A good summer read. A family drama about three sisters who after 20 years are together at the family home in a small beach town in Rhode Island. They are trying to solve an intriguing mystery involving their father and trying to heal fractured relationships.

This is a big meaty book (figuratively, but also literally at 400+ in the trade paperback/hardback version) that really delivers if you enjoy family sagas, changing relationships and a little mystery thrown in. The setting is wonderful; a charming town and so-lifelike shore. The main characters are three sisters who are forced to confront their past and establish their future. Delinsky writes it all so well; the dialogue, the settings, the developing mysteries, the romance (s). Hard to put down

Thanks to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for a physical arc in exchange for an honest review. Barbara Delinsky is one of those authors that you can read at the beach, the camp, the couch or the bathtub. Literally, you are going to take her tales of mothers, daughters, sisters on the path to unveiling secrets, finding love, and above all forgiveness. I was hooked from beginning to end and I was in the middle of the woods by a river. Goodreads review published 25/07/21

I won this book in a Goodreads Giveaway. It comes out May 5th. Pleasant enough story, but just an ok read for me. I feel badly that this is my reaction as I know Barbara Delinsky has a lot of fans who would have loved to have won this book and read it before the publication date. ☹️

Mallory reluctantly returns home to Bay Bluff, Rhode Island after a lengthy time away. When a phone call from home triggers fears about her father's health, she makes the decision to drive to the shore for a week with her teenage daughter, Joy in tow.Mallory's world was torn about twenty years prior with the mysterious disappearance of a close family friend, and the consequential break-up of her budding romance with the boy-next-door. Much has changed over the years; she is the link between her

Unfortunately, the synopsis sounded better than the book turned out to be. I found it very choppy and, in all honesty, boring. I had a really hard time getting through the first half and then I gave up. I've read books by this author in the past and have enjoyed them; this one just didn't do it for me.

Who wants to spend A Week At the Shore? Delinsky takes us on an emotional journey in her latest novel. I think this is the perfect book to get out of the winter blues. I love books about family and when these three sisters get back together after 20 years at the shore where a tragedy took place you will not see what's coming. Will there be a happy ending?4 stars and I can't wait for you all to grab your copy, I recommend this one.

Highly emotional and a bit like a mystery wrapped up in a family drama. I lost count of how many times I set this book down saying what just happened?! Barbara Delinsky manages to pull me in again with a story I won’t stop thinking about for awhile.

Boring! Hard to finish!I’ve read a lot of Barbara’s books but this one was brutally boring from the beginning. I almost couldn’t finish it. I was hopeful something was going to happen to intrigue me but no. Boring and predictable to the end. Very disappointed!

A Week at the Shore is relationship fiction at its best, as only Barbara Delinsky can write it. This novel covers a period of only seven days but, by the end of that time, you will feel like you know the Aldiss family very well. Mallory Aldiss returns with her teenage daughter to the small town in Rhode Island where she grew up with her two sisters. All is not well with the family and the troubles from twenty years ago are many: a disappearance that was never resolved, divorce, adultery, paterni...

Heartwarming, sentimental, and sweet!A Week at the Shore is an intimate, moving tale that sweeps you away to the beautiful Rhode Island coast in summer and immerses you into the lives of the Aldiss sisters, Mallory, Anne, and Margo, as they confront the past, accept the things they cannot change, take chances, repair fractured relationships, and embrace the future.The prose is emotive and fluid. The characters are troubled, stubborn, and compassionate. And the plot is a tender tale about life, l...

This book releases in a few days, be sure to get your copy!! I should have savored it of course, but once I started, I just kept turning pages. I've been reading Barbara Delinsky for years, and she never disappoints! A great read for summer!

A Week At The ShoreBarbara DelinskyBarbara Delinsky’s latest novel is outstanding a real gem that has something for everyone, family drama, second chance romance, secrets and a decades old mystery that has torn apart not one but two families. Her main protagonist Mallory is very genuine and a trooper, an optimist when she could have so easily become a darker figure because of her past, her daughter Joy is a breath of fresh air, bubbly, girlish and still an old wise soul. The family dynamics is i...

I wanted to like this book, but for me it was very slow and the story was not that interesting. Some mysteries from the past were never resolved. Mallory comes to the shore to reunite with her father and sister who takes care of him.Jack lives next door and he is a love interest of Mallory's from long ago. Twenty years ago there was a boating accident which involved Mallory's father and Jack's mother. Jack's mother was never found. There's also a question as to who Mallory's father really is. Th...
