<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A woman who's husband announces he's leaving her for another woman rents a cottage on Nantucket for a summer vacation with her kids. Complications arise as the same cottage is housing a man who's lost wife and is hoping to reconnect with his distant son.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b><i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Nancy Thayer whisks readers back to the beloved island of Nantucket in this delightful novel about two single parents who accidentally rent the same summer house--and must soon decide where their hearts truly lie.</b></p><p>Sensible thirty-six-year-old Sophie Anderson has always known what to do. She knows her role in life: supportive wife of a successful architect and calm, capable mother of two. But on a warm summer night, as the house grows quiet around her and her children fall asleep, she wonders what's missing from her life. When her husband echoes that lonely question, announcing that he's leaving her for another woman, Sophie realizes she has no idea what's next. Impulsively renting a guest cottage on Nantucket from her friend Susie Swenson, Sophie rounds up her kids, Jonah and Lacey, and leaves Boston for a quiet family vacation, minus one.</p><p>Also minus one is Trevor Black, a software entrepreneur who has recently lost his wife. Trevor is the last person to imagine himself, age thirty and on his own, raising a little boy like Leo--smart and sweet, but grappling constantly with his mother's death, growing more and more closed off. Hoping a quiet summer on the Nantucket coast will help him reconnect with Leo, Trevor rents a guest house on the beautiful island from his friend Ivan Swenson.</p><p>Best-laid plans run awry when Sophie and Trevor realize they've mistakenly rented the same house. Still, determined to make this a summer their kids will always remember, the two agree to share the Swensons' Nantucket house. But as the summer unfolds and the families grow close, Sophie and Trevor must ask themselves if the guest cottage is all they want to share.</p><p>Inspiring and true to life, <i>The Guest Cottage</i> is Nancy Thayer at her finest, inscribing in graceful, knowing prose matters of the heart and the meaning of family. <p/><b>Praise for <i>The Guest Cottage</i></b><br> <b><i> </i></b><br> "[<i>The Guest Cottage</i>] will make readers want to hop on the next ferry to seek out their own dreams and romance."<b>--Laurie Higgins, <i>Cape Cod Times</i></b> <p/> "[A] delightful beach read."<b>--<i>InStyle</i></b> </p><p><b>Praise for Nancy Thayer</b></p><p><b><i>Nantucket Sisters</i></b><br> <b> </b><br> "Thayer obviously knows her Nantucket, and the strong sense of place makes this the perfect escapist book for the summer, particularly for fans of Elin Hilderbrand."<b>--<i>Booklist</i></b><br> <i> </i><br> "Thayer keeps readers on the edge of their seats with her dramatic story spanning the girls' childhood to adulthood.
