A coming-of-age story with a Nantucket backdrop serves up entertainment flavored with a dose of reality. This sequel to Nantucket Blue (2013) picks up after Cricket's first summer on the island, which was filled with best-friend drama, first loves and heartbreak, and fast-forwards through her senior year, which concludes with a hard-won acceptance to Brown and return ticket to Nantucket. For graduation, Cricket's best friend, Jules, presents her a framed photo of Jules' mother, Nina, who died the year before. In life, Cricket had idolized Nina. Hidden in the frame is Nina's bucket list of adventures, which ranges from learning how to drive and then going to Big Sur to drinking Campari on the Amalfi Coast. Without the funds to globe-trot, Cricket spends her summer creatively living her way through the list on Nantucket, but along the way, she hits significant snags, including one that throws her entire future and hard work into jeopardy. This second installment hinges on relationships of all kinds-romantic, friend-based and familial-and the ups and downs that they bring with them that push Cricket to accept her new role as an adult. Cricket is a realistically rendered just-graduated senior, with life concerns and encounters befitting an actual young adult. Enjoyable and introspective, this is more than just a summer beach read.

4Q 4P S When Cricket's boyfriend, Zack, moves to Connecticut for boarding school, she cannot bear to keep the relationship going long distance. But the "pause" Cricket suggests does not seem to work for Zack, who has a new girlfriend by Christmas. Cricket is devastated and lonely, but things turn around when she is accepted to Brown University and given an opportunity by her step-grandparents: raise $8,000-half the cost of room, board, and college expenses-and they will match it. Cricket seizes the opportunity, knowing only one place where she can make that kind of money in one summer-Nantucket. Cricket finds a job waitressing, stops practicing lacrosse, and becomes enamored with Ben, an older bartender, who helps her discover how to live in the moment. Cricket has always been the good daughter, the good friend, the good girl, but when she makes a drunken mistake one night, she suddenly has to fight for her future. The harder she fights for Brown, for lacrosse, and for being the person everyone wants her to be, the more she is uncertain of what she really wants. In this novel about finding oneself and following your heart, Howland creates a character that readers will be cheering for from beginning to end. Though a sequel to Nantucket Blue (Hyperion, 2013/VOYA June 2013), this book is a stand-alone novel. School librarians might want to be aware that there is mention of a sexual encounter between Cricket and Zack from the previous summer; however, the only sexual act is told through innuendo.-Stacy Holbrook.

Praise for Nantucket Blue "[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."
"The New York Times""
Gr 9 Up Senior year has been a rollercoaster for Cricket Thompson. After a summer full of love found and friendship lost, Cricket has navigated her way through her last year of high school and is on her way to an Ivy League college, with one catch-she'll have to live at home. When the teen is offered the chance to earn enough money and have the true college experience living on campus, she boards a ferry back to Nantucket. A year older and with more life experience, the girl readers first met in Howland's Nantucket Blue (Hyperion, 2013) sets out on a path that offers adventure, romance, and the chance to find herself. Nantucket Red is an engaging continuation of Cricket's story, and its pace is perfect for a long weekend or beach read. The protagonist is fully developed as a character, but secondary figures are not as fleshed out. Sure to circulate this summer and throughout the year, libraries will want to purchase this along with the first in the series. Even readers who avoid "chick lit" will find this story multidimensional and enjoyable. For fans of YA romance. Betsy Davison, Cortland Free Library, NY SLJ"

--The New York Times
"Fans of Sarah Dessen will find much to like here, as the charm of this summery yarn lies in Cricket's open appeal. Readers will root for her as she falls down, takes her lumps, and moves forward to her final year in high school, always remembering what she learned under the Nantucket sun."--Library Journal
*"Readers should feel empowered by Cricket's efforts to grow up into a strong, honest, and emotionally intelligent young woman, even as they are enchanted by the romantic and exclusive island setting. This is a natural beach read, but will easily win Howland year-round fans, too."--Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Sand, secrets, Nantucket Reds, and romance. A fresh, feel-good debut."--The Boston Globe
