Blame It On Nantucket - Paperback

by Doreen Burliss (Author), Sara Oestreich (Editor), Sarah Lahay (Cover Design by)

What if finding your footing means letting go of the plan?

Carly Hill wants what everyone wants-a place and a person that feels like home. To be connected and steady without giving up adventure and the unscripted moments.

At the edge of thirty, Carly is still chasing the next zip code as a content creator, flying by the seat of her vintage Levis, while everyone around her is building a life with shape and meaning. When her Boston lease ends and her childhood home is sold, Carly heads for a summer gig at an ocean-front guest house on Nantucket, tasked with creating a tourism campaign for the un-billionaires of the world.

She has a front-row seat to the mess and the magic of relationships - what makes them last, and where the fault lines hide. Behind the camera, Carly starts to turn the lens inward, confronting old losses and the weight of feeling unworthy of her own happy ending -- while longing for it anyway.

Enter August Wilder, a Colorado cowboy with grounded confidence and slow-burn charm. With his boots on Nantucket sand, he brings Carly's Yellowstone obsession into sharper focus, his quiet steadiness making space for a version of herself just starting to unfold.

Blame It On Nantucket is layered with intimate Nantucket detail, the storm of self-doubt and salty air, as it swirls with want and wonder.
