Thank you for this ARC! This was a fun, light-hearted read that got me excited for summer. I love a story that takes place on Nantucket and I love a story that takes place in a restaurant. There was some fun behind the scenes tidbits mixed in, which was great. It had some nice romance and lovely bonding of sisters. I recommend this book!

The Restaurant is a heartwarming summer beach-read that tells the story of three sisters finally coming home to Nantucket and changing their lives for the better. The sisters are relatable, strong women and it's easy to cheer for them as they find their way through life's changes. If you're in the mood for a light read where everything works out in the end then this is the book for you. If you're looking for something similar to Elin Hildebrand then this is not it. It's a delightful story though, and it's sure to be hit on all of summer library displays!!
Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read the free ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Mandy, Emma, and Jill are sisters who are scattered throughout the US. When their grandmother dies, she leaves them a restaurant on Nantucket which had always been a family favorite they didn’t know of her ownership. One stipulation in her will is that they must work together in the restaurant for a year before they can sell it. Juggling their existing lives, they get to work. A consultant helps them with proposed changes to the interior as well as the menu. Kelley does a wonderful job of illustrating the highs and lows of the restaurant industry. The characters are likable and relatable. This is the first in a new Kelley series. I cannot wait to read the next one. Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this ARC.

I have read this story before and really love it. It is about three sisters, Mandy, Emma and Jill and Jason the chef inherit Mimi's Restaurant in Nantucket and how they must run it for a year with Jason and then decide what they want to do. Many lives in Nantucket and Jill and Emma are in a position where they can both stay. Jill having to go back and forth some to the city to be there for her and Billy's business. Follow the 3 of them as they learn the reataurant business and find out their decision.

A feel good story about three sisters who inherit a restaurant on Nantucket. The plot was a bit predictable, but completely enjoyable.

The Nantucket Restaurant is a perfect beach read.

Thanks to NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Landmark for the opportunity to read and review this ARC.

I flew through this book! I loved all three sisters and their stories. I've never been so hungry after reading a book! I cannot wait to go to Nantucket this summer and EAT! This book is a great light and easy read. Perfect for summertime! Thanks NetGalley for the ARC!

'Order is ready' and the O'Toole sisters have arrived at Mimi Place to honor their grandmother's wishes. After her death, Emma, Jill and Mandy realize that their grandmother was the silent owner of Mimi's Place and leaves them the restaurant in her will.

That being said, if they don't spend a year working at Mimi's together, their shares go to Paul, the chef in resident. While each sister has forged a life for themselves, they soon realize that things are spiraling out of control. Will co-ownership be on the menu or is there a fire burning that will have the best laid plans go up in smoke?

I really wanted to like this more because of some good reviews I seeing. Unfortunately this book was not for me. I considered DNF'ing this but wanted to give a review based on the entire story. I found that I just did not care for any of the characters in the book. All are very superficially described and no real depth in the character development. Almost every theme imaginable was touched on in this book--death, infidelity, divorce, addiction, etc. Of course the ending was pretty predictable and unsurprising.

Thanks to NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Landmark for the eARC.

*The Nantucket Restaurant Inheritance* follows three sisters—Mandy, Emma, and Jill—who inherit their grandmother’s restaurant on Nantucket and must work together for a year before they can sell it. As they navigate their personal crossroads, they confront the challenges of running a struggling restaurant, reconnect with each other, and discover the tight-knit complexities of their hometown.

Another wonderful story of family who you as a reader want to know more about you want to learn what will come next for them Pamela Kelley always invites the reader into her world of friendship, life situations and recipes that are mouth watering I anxiously wait for the next time we are in their world

I've read several books by Pamela Kelley and loved them all. This one did not disappoint. I did not realize that is a reissue of an earlier published title, but that didn't matter. It is a feel good story about 3 sisters and their lives coming together for a year on Nantucket as a condition of their grandmother's will. It was like watching a Hallmark movie, and I felt like I was on Nantucket getting to know each of them.

This is definitely a feel-good book. It is a good book for a summer beach read. The plot was a bit predictable. There were no surprise plot twists. I felt it needed a bit deeper dive into the characters. I see it as a nice visit to Nantucket.

Pamela Kelley is a must read author for me. Her next book, The Nantucket Restaurant is a perfect summer read! Don’t miss it!

Title: The Nantucket Restaurant
Author: Pamela Kelley
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Previously published as The Restaurant in 2020, Mandy, Emma, and Jill inherit their grandmother’s restaurant, Mimi’s Place, after her passing. Located on Nantucket, the sisters have to live and work at the restaurant for a year before deciding, along with the fourth member of ownership, head chef Paul, if they keep the restaurant or sell. A lighthearted read, this re-release tells each sisters’ story of how she rebuilds a new life in a delicious setting. Goodreads shows it as the #1 book of a series, but I don’t see any others listed beyond it.

Positives: Sisterhood and starting over are the core themes of The Nantucket Restaurant. This is also a quick read at just over 200 pages (233 digital copy).

Struggles: There always has to be the disliked character and in this one, the character of Cory is an egotistical narcissist.

Thank you to NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Landmark for the advanced copy. Opinions expressed are my own. This book will be republished on June 10, 2025.

This is a fantastic summer-at-the-beach type of book. It was easy to like the plot, and Kelley crafted interesting characters with three sisters and the memory of their grandmother. I adored that connection as I was super close with mine. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

Pamela Kelley is an auto-read author for me. I truly enjoy her books and the revamp/refresh of The Nantucket Restaurant was a pleasure to read.
I enjoy the comradery and support the sisters give each other. And the back story of Gram is so touching.
This Nantucket based story is a clean, women's fiction style and would fit nicely on the list of Tammy Grace, Annie Cabot, Maggie Miller and Hope Holloway readers.
Five stars from me with thanks to #NetGalley for the opportunity to early read.
