I started reading this book about a week ago and fell in love! It's a very easy, good summer read.
I got this from Amazon:
The pricey, popular bistro of the title is the real star of Hilderbrand's fourth novel set on Nantucket. After years of hotel employ, peripatetic Adrienne Dealey, 28, lands her first restaurant job within hours of disembarking on the bucolic Massachusetts island. She's got a lot of learning to do as assistant to co-owner Thatcher Smith. Adrienne's soon attracted to the handsome Thatcher, and he seems to return her feelings. But just what is his relationship with his partner, the famous, utterly reclusive chef Fiona "Fee" Kemp? And why will no one talk about her? Hilderbrand specializes in beach reading (Summer People; The Beach Club); the plot doesn't go too far beyond standard romance and the characters don't reach beyond the conventional (though Adrienne does drink a bit more than the average heroine). But the complexities of running a bustling, ambitious restaurant in a summer hotspot are absorbing, and as Adrienne develops survival techniques with the customers and staff, readers follow her progress with genuine interest. Though the romance is a bit tepid and a subplot involving Adrienne's father's new girlfriend doesn't add much excitement, this is still a perfectly enjoyable beach book.
It's funny because as I was reading this morning, I realized that there really isn't much of a plot. It's not one that I "can't put down," but it is definitely one that is worth reading.
Last night I picked up two more new books:
I have heard great things about both books and cannot wait to read them!

Hi Michele, I saw your comment over on the Weight Watchers changed my life blog.....found it interesting. I am thinking of giving up Splenda now after that. However, I did want to tell you that the way I found out I have thyroid disease is joint pain......to make a long journey in short form, it turned out to be Hashimoto's Thyroid disease. I was working out and not losing, felt aachy......and very foggy brained. Of course, I kept relating it all to Menopause, but not so. Just thought I'd suggest having your thyroid checked with a blood test if you are trying to lose and not.....
