The Summer Wives by Beatriz Williams - I’ve really liked a couple of Williams’ books, but this makes the second one that I had a hard time getting into and thought was overrated. It was touted as a great summer read (missed that by only a month or so) and the only reason I can think why is because it has “summer” in the title. Miranda is back to the island after an 18 year absence ... not much has changed and the islanders are known for keeping tightly-held secrets. Unfortunately most of the secrets relate to privileged men taking egregious advantage of native island women. Not very relatable in the #metoo era.
