I liked the writing style, and lush descriptions of the surroundings and food. Frankie is named after a whale. Her mom left for a year when she was young to save the whales, and Frankie has never forgiven her, nor gotten over the fear of abandonment. George moved in next to Frankie when they were both kids, after his dad dumped him with his grandmother. So he has some abandonment issues too.
Frankie and George have been best friends since they were kids. They drifted apart over the years, but he still agrees to be her best man at her wedding. Nate is safe and steady, and Frankie thinks she will be happy with him. When she’s dumped right before the ceremony, George helps whisk her away back home. He convinces her to go on her honeymoon with him, and they spend the week healing old wounds.
Just as they both admit they have more-then-friends feelings for each other, Frankie discovers Nate has been holding out in her. She didn’t know why Nate left her, but George knew the whole time and let Frankie think it was something she must have done wrong. Instead, George got drunk and told Nate all the ways he didn’t know Frankie, and admitted to Nate that he was in love with her. Nate dumped Frankie because he felt like he was standing in the way of true love.
The weaving of the whales and Frankie and George’s history made this book a little deeper than some lighter romance novels. (8)
