Struggled a bit to get into this one, not sure if it is the jumping back and forth of time, or didn't like the characters or all of the above. Many of the other reviewers liked this author, and while I didn't have any other books to compare it with I struggled with this one. Not a bad book, but so many characters I kept getting sidetracked. Would recommend if you like puzzles and mysteries from the past coming to light.

I received a copy of this arc from NetGalley for an honest review. If it weren't for Thanksgiving and my job I would have read this book in one sitting. I loved it immediately. I really liked the characters and the setting of this book and I loved that I could not figure out what happened to one of the characters. I did not see some of the twists coming which I loved and I really liked that I could not figure other things out until the very end. Great Read!!!

It has been awhile since I read a novel by Barbara Delinsky. After reading A Week at the Shore, I will be playing catch-up to read the ones that I have not yet read.

I read this book in a couple days. It is very interesting and thus hard to put down. The story is complex with surprising twists and many subplots. The book shows the challenges and heartache of dealing with a relative with potential Alzheimer’s disease. It reflects the challenges many siblings face in taking care of a family member and the resentment that can arise when one sibling feels more burdened with that care.

The story also depicts the relationship between Mallory and Jack, young lovers who separated for 20 years and found their way back to each other. I wish more time was spent on the reunion in the final chapter. Perhaps I feel this way as I wanted to continue reading this very intriguing book and one that I strongly recommend. The writing is descriptive and draws you in. Take a read, you will not be disappointed.

I received an advanced readers copy from NetGalley.

This story is about family and how family deals with parents getting older and with their own personal problems. I liked both the characters and the story line.

First book of this authors that I’ve read in awhile. I enjoyed the story but wasn’t quite ready for it to end. I had a hard time putting it down! It would make a perfect beach read. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the early copy

A combination of estranged family, a bit of mystery, a little romance along with some old scandal make this an outstanding book. Barbara Delinsky has written another book that gives readers insight into the way one family and their estranged neighbor deal with what life has dealt them. Mallory, along with her daughter Joy, travel to her hometown after a disturbing call about her father’s behavior and the way her sister is handling the situation. Readers are drawn into this real-life story that is so well written you feel you are part of their family. This is a book not to be missed. I received an advanced reader copy of this book from NetGalley and St Martin’s Press. All opinions stated are my own.

Barbara Delinsky has been a favorite author of mine for many years. She does not disappoint with her later, "A Week at the Shore." Three sisters reunite at their family home in Rhode Island and it is not an easy reunion. Interesting questions are brought up, interesting dynamics are studied. I enjoyed every word.

A Week At the Shore is the best kind of fiction...asking serious questions to guide readers into a deeper understanding. When Jack’s phone call brings Mallory back to the hometown she and her oldest sister have avoided for 20 years there are lots of questions, about the father whose memory is failing, about the family friend who fell overboard while sailing with her dad, about the boy she once loved, about why she always had to assume the role of peacemaker. Not wanting to give spoilers, my recommendation is to read the description and then read the story. Once started this is a hard book to close for even a short period. Fans of the author’s know her descriptive prose will suck readers in and hold them hostage until the very last period. Her characters have a depth often lacking in other reads. Her command of grammar will make you cheer. Her endearing plot will have new readers looking for additional stories. I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book from NetGalley. Most highly recommend.

Mallory hasn’t been back to her family’s beach home in Rhode Island for twenty years. Her parents ugly break-up pushed her away from her home, her sister and the young man she loved. Now, she’s back with her thirteen year old daughter, Joy. Joy is desperate for family and can’t wait to see the place her mother grew up and meet her aunt and grandfather. Of course, nothing will be easy for Mal or her sister, but in the end, family is worth the struggle. Delinsky understands family dynamics the way few other authors do, reading her books always gives me hope

I have loved the work of this author for years. This book-leave out the language please. There are so many characters one might make a list. The one character that is the most appealing is the teenager. The others make so many mistakes and use such poor judgment that one wonders what next?. The underlying story of the illness of the father is a common theme in many books now. Insidious disease. Readers may relate. It is written with expertise! The finding of lost loves is repetitive. Fans of Delinsky will remain faithful and parts of the story will resonate with her readers. Just not one of the best. This is not a beach read.
