Wow, what an ending full of surprises for Ava! I love getting to meet all the girls: Ava, Quinn, and Hallie. Then, getting to see the others characters come in, to make a great story. When God closes one door, looks for open windows, and that is what these girls are doing. Each woman has a story behind her, and getting to know them has been great. I love the way the story is branching out, and cannot wait to read book #2. Thanks to Ms. Keaton, and NetGalley, for the opportunity to read and review this awesome beach read.

This story is everything a beach book should be!!!!!!! Loved, Family, friends, heartbreak, & finding joy again!!!!!!!

New York attorney Ava Flynn loses her job after an outburst with a high powered client. Unable to find a job at her age and struggling financially after her husband runs off with her money, she's at a loss for her next step. Then a former client wills her a large house in the 'Sconset Beach area of Nantucket and she leaves behind her life in the city. The story then digresses from Ava to her friends and their problems, her daughter and her failing marriage and her son. This seems almost like a series of short stories tied together. For me, it didn't flow well and seemed more like an introduction to characters for future books. And there's also a third child that is mentioned but never appears in the book, unnecessary unless for future stories.

This is a good book with strong female characters. All of them are at a crossroads and trying to figure out the next steps in their lives. They end up in the Sconset Beach area of Nantucket. Here they will confront their decisions and how to go about the future. This book sets you up for future books. I look forward to seeing what happens from here.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for advanced copy, and I give my review freely

A fun sweet read! Highly recommend.

Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for my ARC.

Hardworking tax attorney Ava, sees it all in her high powered job. Eventually she has had it and tells off a client of hers, which results in her loosing her job. However, she also finds out that she has been left a 7 million dollar mansion on the island of Nantucket. So she decides to turn it into a B&B and start a new career. The storyline is an intriguing and heartwarming tale of reinvention. Love beach reads and highly recommend this for your next vacation book.

I actually read this ARC over the past 18 months. I called it my waiting room book since that’s where I read it. It was like catching up with old friends. I enjoyed my friends but felt it wrapped up too perfectly and quickly for a proposed series.

I love beach reads and this one fills every checklist for the perfect escape from everyday life. When her life looks the darkest, she finds a new home and a new project to share with her daughter and friends. This circle of women helping women will make your heart smile.

I’m catching up on some older arc. The premise of the story intrigue me. I value my female friendships. Ava, Hallie and Quinn are in their 50’s living in New York City have their Wednesday night wine get together each have personal drama going on that they are keeping to themselves. When Ava’s inherits a beachfront home on Nantucket, the ladies all decide to go. Each lady finds a peace on Nantucket and decides to stay. The book is a collection of what will be a series books currently there are 11.. If you are wanting a quick beach read, this book is for you. My rating is a 3.5.

Thank yo #NetGalley, #AislingDelaney and #TheNantucketBeachfrontInn:SconsetBeachBooks for the ebook for my honest review.

🎉Summary🎉
Lexi is getting married and her hen party is in Greece. Traveling with her are her best friends from growing up, Bella and Robyn, Bella's girlfriend Fen, who's aunt owns the house they are staying, a newer friend from yoga Ana and her fiancé's sister, Eleanor. The story starts with a dead body at the end of the trip so now we see what led up to the events of the death… and who it was who died.

🎉Review🎉
This was such a good mystery/thriller. I'm so mad it took me so long to get to it! Starting from the end with a scene of a dead body being taken away, we go back to the arrival at the beginning of the weekend and jump perspectives between all the hen party guests. As we learn backstory from each woman, we see they all have hidden agendas for being there or secret connections. It was a fun thriller and I really enjoyed the story.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨(4.25)

I’m so sad to say…this was just a no for me.

We recently took a trip to the New England area and I was excited to read a story set in this place…but I couldn’t get past the weakness of the main character. I prefer my female leads to be more…just more. She felt so flat for me, no fire, and a little childish for being in her 50’s.

I felt there was a lot of unnecessary information, too many pop culture references that take away from the originality of the story…and it wasn’t funny like I hoped either.

I won’t be reading any more from this series, as this just isn’t what I had hoped when I picked it up.

First book I have read by Ainsley Keaton. I look forward to reading more. Beach read with all the good elements....

I really enjoyed this book. I loved how the book talked on when one door closes another one opens and it is usually better! I would definitely recommend this book.

The Nantucket Beachfront Inn has all the marks of a good read; well written characters, great scenery, decent plot, and good pacing. The reason I rounded my 3.5 down to three stars instead of up to four has to do with the overabundance of pop culture references and a feeling the author was throwing every hook into this book to see what would stick. I think there are good bones, it's just a bit fleshy around the middle. As this is the first in a series, I hope Ms. Keaton will refine and limit her story ideas. Overall, I feel it has great potential, and will be reading at least one more, and hopefully all future titles. Thanks to Netgalley and/or the publisher for giving me this title in exchange for an honest review.

This is the first book by Ainsling Delaney that I have read. I really enjoyed it so I will be reading more of her books in the future.

Ava, Halley and Quinn are three best friends who tell each other almost everything. They live in New York and now that Ava has lost her job and inherited a house in Nantucket. They were all moving to Nantucket.

This story will make you laugh, smile and maybe cry with all the emotions twirling in the story. I really enjoyed it and just could not put it down.

First time reading a book by this author. I will read more because I liked her style of writing and the liked storyline. What I didn’t like about this book though is the fact that it is a series. The last few chapters a whole bunch of drama was thrown in and then nothing was solved so that you have to keep reading the next book(s). I am not a big fan of having to read series.
The basic story about Ava and how she rose above her challenging situation and reinvented herself was good. She had supportive friends and her relationship with several family members improves throughout the book.
I gave it 3 stars because of the series aspect. Thank you to Netgalley for the advanced copy in return for my honest review

Great story and love that it was not your typical romance story. I would love to read more by this author.

thank you for my advance copy in exchange for a fair review.

BOOK REVIEW

BOOK: The Nantucket Beachfront Inn
AUTHOR: Ainsley Keaton
FORMAT: eBook
RATING: DNF (did not finish)

MY THOUGHTS

I started this book and found that I had a lot of difficulty connecting to the story. I did not finish it, not for lack of quality of the book but more so that I felt it was a “right book wrong time” situation where I wasn’t in the right mindset for this one at this time! Hopefully will be picking it back up in the future!

Finally getting around to catching up on my older ARCS. I really enjoyed this beach read. The first in a series of 8 and my first from this Author. A saga told from the main protagonist POV and about her life and friends and family and how she starts to rebuild her life with them all after adversary in all aspects of her life. I look forward to the rest of the series. Thank you to Netgalley, and the Author Ainsley Keaton for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Loved getting to know all of the main characters in this book, and while I wondered if everything was going to wrapped up by the end of the book, the author did not disappoint and really brought everything together in the end.

It was a good story of families and new beginnings.
