Summerland by Elin Hilderbrand is set on Nantucket Island, and tells the story of the peole who live there year round, not just the summer vacationers. The story focuses on a group of high school teenagers from three different families, and a devastating car crash that happens on graduation night.
This is the very real story about how these kids and their parents deal with such great loss. Hilderbrand writes from many different viewpoints and it works. Her characters are well developed and I came to care about most of them and wanted to know what actually happened and what their future would hold.
Some parts of the story I found less believable than others, and it was all summed up into a rather tidy ending. Still, a worthwhile read.
