This book is based on Martha's Vineyard, so always a must read for me. Georgette goes to Martha's Vineyard to live out a dream from her childhood, after she went on a trip there with her father. Her childhood was difficult, and that trip feels like one of the only bright spots. She is a nurse, and works for a famous author who is failing, then falls in love with a mysterious man. I loved the Vineyard references! The story has love, loss, addiction, found family. Enjoyed reading this. #netgalley #thesilenceinthesound @diannecbraley #bookstagram #booklover #bookreview #bookrecommendation #tbr #bookblog #readersofinstagram #bookloversofinstagram #marthasvineyardbooks #lovetoread #foundfamily #addiction

My first book to read by this author but definitely not my last! Such a gripping novel that made it hard for me to put his book down once I started it. Highly recommend!!

Thank you to NetGalley and Koehler Books for an advanced electronic copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

Unfortunately, I did not finish this book. I got about 19.5% through it and realized I was dreading having to pick it up, which means it is clearly not the book for me.

Each chapter looks like an essay submission for a high school English class. From what I understand, the stories seem to happen to the same character, but each chapter is a different drop along the timeline. My issue is that it feels so disconnected. I don't really care what happens to the characters in the story, and the connections are too loose at this point in the book. It should at least be interesting, even if I don't understand the connections - but it isn't.

I'm not truly sure what this book is about, but I know it wasn't the one for me.
