Publisher's summary

One woman. Two childhood loves. The dazzling place where it all began.

“An exciting, emotional page-turner.” —KRISTIN HARMEL, New York Times bestselling author

A CBS New York Book Club Pick!

When Emma Jansen discovers that the grand Long Island estate where she grew up is set to be demolished, she can't help but return for one last visit. After all, it was a place filled with firsts: learning to ride a bike, sneaking a glass of champagne, falling in love.

But once Emma arrives at the storied mansion, she can't ignore the more complicated memories. Because that's not exactly where Emma grew up. Her mother and father worked for the family that owned the estate, and they lived over the garage like Audrey Hepburn's character in the film Sabrina. Emma never felt fully accepted, except by the family's grandson, Henry—a former love—and by the driver’s son, Leo—her best friend.

As plans for the property are put into motion and the three are together for the first time in over a decade, Emma finds herself caught between two worlds and two loves. And when the house reveals a shattering secret about her own family, she’ll have to decide what kind of life she really wants for herself now and who she wants to be in it.

“Readers will find themselves engrossed by this absolute treat of a book.” —PAM JENOFF, New York Times bestselling author

Weak ending

I liked much of the book but the ending felt thrown together just to quickly wrap it up like writing a summary. It was flat.

Pieces of History Intertwined

I loved the twists and turns that were so unexpected, with added historical truths. The characters were rich in personalities. Even though it was not a humorous story, I found myself laughing at some of the character’ thoughts. As always, I enjoy Cassandra Campbell as the reader.

An example of amazing dedication to the story

This was a very well thought out story and I loved how much the author put so much research and thought when adding her Easter eggs about Audrey Hepburn. It was a truly good drama filled story with dazzling detail of characters with complex feelings and thoughts. Although I did have one problem, the voice actors made the main character sound like she was child, even though she was an adult, and I felt as if she would make the main character pout when she wasn’t supposed to. Either than that I loved at the voice actor made the boys sound like boys, and the other girls are not childish sounding. It was just the main character.
