Publisher's summary

All she wanted was one last summer at the beach house...

When the unthinkable happens, and Claire Thompson's husband dies suddenly, she's left wondering how to go on. Being a wife and mother is all she's ever known. Grieving and lost, she decides to take her family for one last trip to their beach house before she's forced to put it up for sale. The house is filled with happy memories, and it seems like a great way to remember Bryan.

But as she soon finds out, Bryan was harboring some complicated secrets. The kind that will change the lives of Claire and her daughter. And those secrets come to light while Claire is at the beach house, shattering her memories and making her realize she never really knew her husband.

How does she move forward with these new revelations? How will her daughter cope? What will become of them now that they know Bryan wasn't the man they thought he was?

Claire can only pray things work out for them during their last summer at the beach house.

Loved

I am a big fan of Maggie Miller, I have read almost all her books. This is a great story. Not a huge fan of the narrator but I got used to her. I am definitely looking forward to finishing the series.

Very enjoyable

I like Maggie Millers books. They keep me interested all the way through. It’s hard to wait for the next book to come out.

Loved it!!

The story’s was really good. I liked that the animosity between families was somewhat. I love Maggie Miller’s beach stories— I listened to her gulf coast series and it was really. I love a book that has a happy ending. The reader is excellent as well— she makes each character come alive for me😊

No to this narrator

I really like Maggie Miller’s books and have listened to her others so I did t think twice about purchasing this one to listen to. I gave it an honest try but could not get past the narration. It was entirely too proper, to the point of being pretentious and at times, there was a hing of an accent from another country. It doesn’t fit with the setting of the story, Maggie’s usual writing style and was honestly was downright annoying. I wound up stopping to return the book. I do plan to download a digital copy to read. The story is a little slow going but I think it was more the narration than the actual story itself.

I couldn’t cope with the narrator

Assuming it’s similar to the authors other series I’m sure it was a fun and positive listen but I didn’t get very far because the narrator made me crazy very sing song, deliberate speech pattern with a bit of a? Inflection at the end of each sentence super strange.

Couldn’t get through it

I absolutely love Maggie miller’s books. The blackbird beach series I have listened to over and over. I could not get into this one. I’ve tried so many times. The narrator is absolutely horrible. It’s like nails on a chalkboard trying to listen to this. It actually gives me anxiety listening to her somehow when normally these books are my comfort. Besides the horrible narrator I couldn’t get into the characters. All her other books the characters felt like friends to me, this one I just couldn’t connect to anyone. I’ll keep trying to get into this one, but if you are like me coming from blackbird beach or compass key this one isn’t like those at all. In my opinion anyway. I won’t be buying anymore in the series, and I’ll never get anything this narrator reads.
