That is, until Jules and her family suffer a devastating tragedy, and Jules becomes a stranger. And instead of lying on the beach working on her tan, Cricket is making beds and cleaning bathrooms to support herself in paradise. But it's the things she hadn't counted on-most of all, falling hard for someone who should be completely off-limits-that turn her dreams into an exhilarating, bittersweet reality. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eNantucket Red\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Cricket is headed to Brown University in the fall, but to help pay for her living expenses, she returns to work on Nantucket for the summer, where she finds challenges she hadn't anticipated. As her world opens up in new ways, Cricket questions the future she's been working toward her whole life. With the pull of a love triangle complicating everything, she'll have to learn that success isn't just about reaching goals, but also about listening to what she's been trying to ignore-her own heart. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eNantucket Blue\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"[Howland] evokes the Nantucket setting vividly . . . when it comes to indulgent beach reading, sometimes it's more fun to get pushed over by a wave than to stay safely on your towel.\" -- \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Sand, secrets, Nantucket Reds, and romance.
