Book Review ~ The Forever Summer by Jamie Brenner

The Forever Summer
by Jamie Brenner
April 25th 2017 by Little, Brown and Company


The discovery of long-buried secrets brings three generations of women together to Cape Cod for the summer homecoming of a lifetime.

Marin Bishop has always played by the rules, and it's paid off: on the cusp of thirty she has a handsome fiancé, a prestigious Manhattan legal career, and her father's hard-won admiration. But with one careless mistake at work, Marin suddenly finds herself unemployed and alone. Before she can summon the courage to tell her parents, a young woman appears, claiming to be Marin's half-sister. Seeking answers, Marin agrees to join her on a soul-searching journey to Cape Cod, to meet the family she didn't even know she had.

As the summer unfolds at her grandmother's beachside B&B, it becomes clear that her half-sister's existence is just the first in a series of truths that will shake Marin's beliefs--in love, and in her own identity--to the core. Filled with shocking revelations, heartfelt romance, and resilient women banding together against the most unexpected twists of fate, THE FOREVER SUMMER is an emotionally resonant page-turner, and a delicious escape for any season.

The Forever Summer by Jamie Brenner was the perfect read for a lazy day lounging at the beach or by the pool.  Character development was great and the descriptions of the town were perfect.  This was a very diverse story and something I probably wouldn’t have picked up if I had known from the beginning, but the author did such an amazing job with the plot I could not help but be swept away into the story.
                
There is something for everyone in the pages of this book – from family secrets to love and loss of love, but in the end it’s a very powerful story that is sure to stay with the reader long after the last page is read.
