New York Times bestselling author Nancy Thayer evokes the shimmering seascape of Nantucket in a delightful novel that resonates with the heartache and hope of growing up, growing wise, and the bittersweet choices we must be brave enough to make.
 
Courtney Hendricks will never forget the magical summers she spent on Nantucket with her college roommate, Robin Vickerey, and Robin’s charismatic, turbulent, larger-than-life family, in their gorgeous island house. Now a college English professor in Kansas City, Courtney is determined to experience one more summer in this sun-swept paradise. Her reason for going is personal: Courtney needs to know whether Robin’s brother James shares the feelings she’s secretly had for him.
 
Time with the Vickerey family always involves love and laughter, and this season is no different. Vivacious matriarch Susanna Vickerey is celebrating her sixtieth birthday, but beneath the merriment, trouble is brewing. The family patriarch, Dr. Alastair Vickerey, is quiet and detached, while unspoken tension looms over oldest son Henry, a respected young surgeon. Warm and witty Robin, the most grounded of the siblings, is keeping a secret from her parents. Iris, the colorful baby of the brood, remains rudderless and in need of guidance. And the sexy, stunningly handsome, untouchable James—to Courtney’s dismay—may be in love with a beautiful and vibrant local artist. As the summer unfolds, a crisis escalates, surprising truths are revealed, and Courtney will at last find out where her heart and her future lie.
 
Weaving the trials and uncertainty of real life into a tapestry of passion, hope, and courage, The Island House is a beautifully told story about the ties that bind us—and how the blessings of love and family heal us in ways we never dream possible.

Awesome
Size: Medium, Color: Ash, Size: Medium, Color: Ash
Fantastic value. A lightweight full-zip hooded sweat shirt that fits true to size. I have other hoodies that are much heavier and warmer but I specifically wanted a thin light one I can use for layering. This is it. Don't expect thick heavy material ( including draw strings ). Everything about this hoodie is light. Especially the price! But it's soft, comfortable and warm enough for what it's designed for. Very happy with this.

EXCELLENT SWEATSHIRT & FANTASTIC PRICE👍
Size: X-Large, Color: Deep Red
UPDATE: THE INTERIOR FUZZ JUST WONT STOP WASHING ONTO OTHER ITEMS. I WASH GREY & BLACK SEPARATE, BUT THE 2 ARE JUST AS BAD AS THE RED. I STILL SAY THEY ARE WELL MADE, JUST CANT STAND THE CONSTANT FUZZ COMING OFF ONTO MY T-SHIRT. I purchased 3, red, black & charcoal gray. I like them all but I always prewash new clothes. They are well made and fit perfectly. Hanes has always made great products. I suggest washing the red sweatshirt a few times to rid it if the excess fuzz which is normal. I had to rewash all 3 separately as the red fuzz stuck to the other two. Excellent 👌 price, wash and tumble dry beautifully for me. Highly recommend. 😊

Happy with my purchase!
Size: Medium, Color: Spanish Moss
This is sold in men’s sizes, but it worked out great because it is nice and long to cover the bum area. The medium fit perfectly and I am 5‘6“ tall and about 140 pounds. I have not washed it yet so I cannot say anything regarding the quality but so far I’m very happy with the purchase. I ordered the Spanish moss color and it is a beautiful color for spring. The jacket itself is not heavy, which is great because it is perfect for when you just want something a little bit lighter and not bulky.

Nice hoodie
Size: Large, Color: Ash
Very happy with this hoodie. It's exactly what I wanted - something very lightweight that I can just throw on and wear around the house (we keep the temp at 68 in the winter). It appears to be of decent quality and the price was right. I wear a large. That's what I ordered and the fit is perfect.

Hanes Pullover Hoodie (Red)
Size: Large, Color: Deep Red
​Pros: ​The red color is vibrant and looks great out of the box. ​Initial fit is decent. ​Cons: ​Excessive Shedding: The "fuzz" and inner lining fibers get absolutely everywhere. It sticks to your undershirt, your hair, and even the furniture. It’s a constant annoyance that doesn't seem to stop even after the first wear. ​Color Bleeding: The dye runs significantly. If you aren't extremely careful in the wash, it will ruin anything lighter than it, and you'll notice the vibrancy of the red fading faster than expected. ​Low Durability: Between the shedding and the dye issues, the quality just isn't there for long-term use. ​Final Verdict: I’d give this a 3/5 at best. While it’s an affordable basic, the mess it leaves behind and the hassle of the dye running make it more of a headache than it’s worth. I’d recommend looking for something with a higher-quality fleece lining that won't leave you covered in red lint.
