For 15 years, the Holloway sisters have stayed away from Nantucket... and each other. Their mother's letter is about to change everything.

Holloway's Lobster Shack has been a Nantucket staple for 40 years. It's where the sisters learned to crack lobsters with their dad, where they waited tables every summer, and where they have the last piece of him they have left. Now their mother, Eleanor, has a deal on the table from developers who want to tear it down and build luxury condos. If she sells, every penny goes to their stepfather Richard, the man whose arrival fifteen years ago splintered their once-close family.

But Eleanor has one other option. She'll give the restaurant to her daughters, but only if all three come home and run it together for the summer.

Meredith, the oldest, hasn't told her family she walked away from her Boston law career after discovering her husband's affair. June's perfectly curated life as a Nantucket gallery owner is hiding a growing scandal that could ruin everything she's built. And Sophie, the youngest, is flying in from LA with a secret that will shock them all.

But as the sisters settle back into their childhood beach house, they realize something is wrong with their mother. Her hands shake when she thinks no one's watching. She forgets conversations from hours ago. And her determination to bring her daughters home feels like it's about something much deeper than just the restaurant.

Between Richard's growing control over their mother, mysterious problems at the shack, and the weight of losing their father all those years ago, the Holloway sisters have one summer to save their family's legacy.

This contemporary small-town women's fiction, clean and wholesome, second-chance, starting-over summer read/beach read romance is page-turning, with exceptional world-building in Nantucket, where the sunrises and sunsets are majestically painted across the sky in vibrant hues. Their journey is enthralling with Sundays in Nantucket, chaos/family drama, divorce, starting over, mysterious problems at the shack, one crumbling lobster shack, three sisters with enough secrets to fill the harbor, a family that just might find its way back to each other; if the truth doesn't sink them first, heartfelt emotions/emotional depth, action, adventure, and more. I recommend reading this book by an extraordinary author who knows how to captivate her readers' hearts and attention with the Sisters of Nantucket/Sundays in Nantucket, and a contemporary small-town women's fiction, clean and wholesome, second-chance, starting-over summer read/beach read romance that is sure to transport readers into a world that is immensely mysterious, emotional, intriguing, and unforgettable.

Well, well, well Ms Parker has left us hanging at the end of this book with so many questions that I am so excited for the sequel series and am looking forward to reading more about the Holloway sisters. Although we find out all the truths involving Ashton and Richard I wanted so much more especially involving Trent and Rebecca and I hope the sequel concentrates on their lives. This has been a great series and I have loved each and every instalment so please ensure that you read all the books in order otherwise you will be missing out on something special.

This is the finale of the series The Lobster Shack. What a wonderful series it is. I love this author's books. I have yet to be disappointed in any of her books. The sister's lives have been chaotic since reuniting in Nantucket. Meredith is reunited with her first love while dealing with a divorce from her husband. June finally gets closure from her trial and with Ashton, her husband. While Sophie gets a new beau and deals with a teenager. Loose ends are tied up and new problems come to light. I highly recommend this book to all women's fiction readers.

Hanging with the Holloway sisters has been so much fun, a wild, chaotic adventure but such an entertaining series. This one kept me on the edge of my seat book by book, thankfully we get some closure and happy endings but the door is left open so maybe a sequel, epilogue, spin-off series??? Looking forward to any of that. The Lobster Shack series was full of excitement, emotions, rich and vibrant characters with a wonderful mix of drama, humor and romance. It's definitely a page turner that doesn't disappoint. Phenomenal writing! I would read anything Sage Parker writes!.

Sundays in Nantucket, Book 5, concludes this excellent but mysterious romance as Sophie, Mer, Trent, and June are still struggling with the death of Eleanor.
Sophie and Noah decide to tell Trent and Daniel about their relationship. Mark continues to research why Ashton's court case was dropped for June. The ending to this series was emotional, answered all questions, and was an excellent finale for this series.

“Sundays in Nantucket” by Sage Parker

- This is the fifth book in the series and brings the Holloway sisters’ stories together in a satisfying way. I received a free copy and am voluntarily sharing honest thoughts.
The mysteries are finally unraveled, loose ends are tied up, and each sister gets her own happy ending. The ending has a surprising twist that definitely leaves readers wonder what might happen next.

[Baby Girl · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow, what a way to put all the missing pieces together. Sage Parker wrapped up nicely the happy endings of Meredith, June, Sophie, and Trent. Did not expect the twist added in Trent and Rebecca's life, but the support they are going to have will surely help. My hear broke when the sisters lost their momma to dementia. This story hit home and it hit hard! I was grateful to see that Richard did right in the end even if it was a bit late. Wow, just wow!!.

[PW · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is great because I was more than ready for the sisters’ to have some ahah moments. The raw honesty and realizations of how being supportive is so much of a relief. They are starting to accept that family loves you even with your warts.

This review includes my thoughts and feelings about these characters.

Siblings reunited.

A wonderful series of the Holloway sisters and half-brother coming together to save the family business.  In the end, the many challenges, obstacles, heartaches and hard times can't break their bond.  A truly beautiful story of courage, determination and faith.  

I read this book as part of an advance reader team.  I am voluntarily writing this review.

Must read in order. Characters and story lines overlap. This is the last book in this series but I see a spinoff in the future.
3 sisters and their half brother struggle to find solid ground after dealing with multiple earth shaking events in their lives.

Sage Parker has written some real twisty books and this one Sundays in Nantucket has the sisters together and each one fighting for their life to be normal again. Read the books in this series in order and all the emotions and pieces will fall into place for you.

The fifth book in The Lobster Shack series by Sage Parker.
The drama of the three sisters continues in this book. Mama has died, Sophie has a secret relationship, Ashton was exonerated but hasn’t come back to June, Meredith continues to be the big sister trying to fix every problem.
*I received this as an ARC reader and am leaving my unbiased review.

So much drama going on with the Holloway family. Richard finally comes clean about what he knew about June & Ashton arrests. Sophie comes clean about her what she’s been hiding. Meredith & Eddie are doing well together. June & Ashton are taking things slow.

At end that is surprising. What happens next? In the sequel? Will the sisters be invited? Will the young teenagers mess up further? This is a question yet to be solved.

Sundays in Nantucket by Sage Parker is book 5. Conclusion to the hectic life of the Holloway sisters. Ending was good with happily ever after and a little more drama. Definitely need to read the other books first. I received an advanced copy of this book. This is my honest review.

What is going on with Ashton? Will June ever have peace? Why did he disappear? What is going on with Sophie and Trent? He doesn't want to speak to her! Too many secrets. Mark needs to just disappear!!! I received a free book and I am voluntarily leaving a review.

closure and cliffhangers
Love and life surely can be complicated, while the sisters find closure for some parts of their lives, new problems show up at the horizon. I hope we will find out more about their solution in the sequel.

[Patricia Zuzack · Rating 5 out of 5]

It was good....alot of repetition. I like that everyone's stories were closed out. Book 5 was better than book 4. I would've liked more at the end on Trent. Looking forward to reading the sequel.

[Barb Graham · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow. I have read many of Sage's books, but this one really knocked it out of the park. The way in which the sisters learn the truth and deal with family issues was great. I received an advanced reader copy of this book, and this is my honest review.

[D. · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am loving this series with the sisters at the lobster shack. They are getting closer and closer as a family but things at the lobster shack seem a bit haywire. I am loving this series.
