The very ending was cute with a hint of a ghost being put to rest. John once again got to show how sweet of a guy he is by being at Nat's side when she was (again) in the hospital at the end. I didn't really guess it this time around either until the reveal which was pretty exciting. I read this book late in 2017 for a book club and have reread it for another book club since I wasn't really staying very clear on who the killer was along with other details. Besties can't stay mad forever, so of course they shook hands and made up. We got to meet Charlene's teenage niece Tania who sometimes ran the store for her. Nat wasn't really crazy about him which made Charlene mad, so she didn't speak to Nat for awhile in the book. In the meantime, Nat's bestie, Charlene has a new boyfriend, the local pastor named Richard. More developers are threatening her beloved island, her ex-fiancé is trying to get her to move back to Texas with him by tempting her with getting her a B&B there, an annoying guest is supposedly wanting to open her own B&B while picking Nat’s brain for ideas, not to mention there are a couple of murders, one of which Nat and Charlene are prime suspects. Even though I read it before, it was still a book I couldn't put down. I've read this again, so I'm revising my original review. ![]() ![]() ![]() First came the discovery of a shocking betrayal that would send someone she’d trusted to prison.

The older adults around Jai and Nick aren’t happy with their impulsive and uncommunicative behavior, but their responses mostly take the form of gentle teasing, with lots of love and no homophobia. Though this romance is appropriate for teen readers who are ready for explicit scenes, it falls more into wishful grown-up quasi-nostalgia than young adult writing. Nick leans heavily on his straight best friend as he navigates his not-a-relationship with 25-year-old Jai living in his mother’s basement in Franklin, Ohio, which he’d previously escaped with bouts of backpacking around the world and his terror at the prospect of going to college. ![]() Recent high school graduate Nick Stahlnecker is fired from his summer job after getting caught in flagrante with hot coworker Jai Hazenbrook.
