New York Times bestselling author Nancy Thayer evokes the shimmering seascape of Nantucket in a delightful novel that resonates with the heartache and hope of growing up, growing wise, and the bittersweet choices we must be brave enough to make. Courtney Hendricks will never forget the magical summers she spent on Nantucket with her college roommate, Robin Vickerey, and Robin's charismatic, turbulent, larger-than-life family, in their gorgeous island house. Now a college English professor in Kansas City, Courtney is determined to experience one more summer in this sun-swept paradise. Her reason for going is personal: Courtney needs to know whether Robin's brother James shares the feelings she's secretly had for him. Time with the Vickerey family always involves love and laughter, and this season is no different. Vivacious matriarch Susanna Vickerey is celebrating her sixtieth birthday, but beneath the merriment, trouble is brewing. The family patriarch, Dr. Alastair Vickerey, is quiet and detached, while unspoken tension looms over oldest son Henry, a respected young surgeon. Warm and witty Robin, the most grounded of the siblings, is keeping a secret from her parents. Iris, the colorful baby of the brood, remains rudderless and in need of guidance. And the sexy, stunningly handsome, untouchable James--to Courtney's dismay--may be in love with a beautiful and vibrant local artist. As the summer unfolds, a crisis escalates, surprising truths are revealed, and Courtney will at last find out where her heart and her future lie. Weaving the trials and uncertainty of real life into a tapestry of passion, hope, and courage, The Island House is a beautifully told story about the ties that bind us--and how the blessings of love and family heal us in ways we never dream possible.

Still One of the Best Cleansing Oils I’ve Ever Used After Years of Repurchasing
Scent: Unscented, Size: 7.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I rarely stay loyal to skincare products for years because I’m always testing and trying new things, but DHC Deep Cleansing Oil is one of the very few products that has remained a permanent part of my routine. I’ve repurchased this multiple times over the years, and every time I try another cleansing oil, I eventually come back to this one because the performance is just consistently good.
The first thing that stands out is how effective it is at removing makeup. I wear waterproof mascara, eyeliner, sunscreen, and long-wear foundation regularly, and this breaks everything down incredibly fast without needing to aggressively rub my skin. I usually apply one pump onto dry hands and massage it onto my dry face for about 30 seconds. You can literally feel the makeup dissolving almost immediately, especially around the eye area where stubborn makeup usually takes extra effort to remove.
What I really appreciate is that it removes heavy makeup in one application. I don’t have to go back in multiple times or use separate eye makeup removers anymore. Even waterproof mascara that normally leaves residue around the lashes comes off cleanly. That alone saves me so much time at night when I’m exhausted and just want my skincare routine done quickly.
Once water is added, the oil transforms into a light milky texture that spreads evenly and rinses away very easily. A lot of cleansing oils claim to rinse clean but still leave behind a greasy film that makes me feel like I need another cleanser immediately afterward. This one actually rinses off properly with water and leaves my skin feeling clean, soft, and balanced instead of heavy or sticky.
Another reason I’ve continued using this for years is because it doesn’t make my skin feel stripped. My skin tends to get dehydrated easily if I use harsh cleansers, especially during colder months, but this leaves my face feeling comfortable and hydrated. The olive oil and vitamin E in the formula definitely help with keeping the skin soft after cleansing. My skin usually feels smoother and calmer afterward instead of tight and irritated.
I also haven’t experienced clogged pores from this, which surprised me because I was originally nervous about putting an oil cleanser on my face. Instead, it actually helps loosen buildup and sunscreen better than many foaming cleansers I’ve tried. My skin texture always looks cleaner and more refreshed after using it consistently.
The bottle also lasts a very long time because you honestly don’t need much product. One pump covers my entire face easily, including eye makeup removal. Even with regular use, the full-size bottle lasts me months, so I feel like the value is actually very good considering how little product is needed each time.
The included travel size is another nice bonus. I keep the mini bottle in my travel bag or purse because it’s convenient for trips and prevents me from having to transfer product into another container. It’s small but still lasts quite a while.
One more thing worth mentioning is the price. I’ve purchased this from different places over the years, and this listing is usually cheaper than buying directly from the official store. Whenever I see it on sale, I stock up because it’s one of those products I genuinely never want to run out of.
Overall, this is one of the most reliable cleansing oils I’ve used. It removes makeup quickly, rinses clean without residue, feels gentle on the skin, and lasts a long time. If you wear makeup regularly, use waterproof products, or simply want a cleansing oil that actually performs the way it promises to, this one is absolutely worth trying.

my holy grail
Scent: Unscented, Size: 6.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
i’ve been repurchasing this for almost 8 years now. hands down this is a holy grail product for me and i have been recommending it to everyone. it takes my makeup off great and it leaves my skin feeling so smooth and soft. its very lightweight and it is very easy to use. i use this for about 10-20 minutes before i use a water based cleanser to take it off. it got rid of little bumbs i have and i genuinely do feel blackheads and dead skin coming off as i use it. this made my skin do a 180 and i will def be using this until the day i die. i love this and recommend it so much.

Reliable choice
Scent: Unscented, Size: 6.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Product I have been purchasing for almost a decade. Excellent at getting out black heads around the nose and mouth. However, if you do not thoroughly double cleanse after, you will be sure to experience a break out. It has a mild scent that doesn’t bother me, typically I get headaches from too strong of a scent. Overall, it’s a gentle way to cleanse and protect your skin health.

Holy grail of cleansing oil!
Scent: Unscented, Size: 6.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I'm very experienced with skincare, and this is hands down the best cleansing oil I've come across. I use this as part of a double cleansing routine, and it is so effective in removing makeup, sunscreen, and difficult mascara I no longer need to use makeup remover balm as a first step. This is now a permanent part of my skincare routine!

Truly does clean even mascara and eyeliner and there is no oily residue - just a clean face!
Scent: Unscented, Size: 7.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I won’t be without this face cleansing oil! It works like magic to remove every trace of foundation, eye liner, mascara, eyeshadow and leaves my face feeling hydrated but not greasy or filmy. It rinses off easily - I have used it for 10+ years . It never causes breakouts nor does it leave residue. I am 75 years old.,
