Publisher's summary

The next original trade women's fiction novel from beloved best-selling author Robyn Carr. Carr is the number one New York Times best-selling author of the Virgin River and Thunder Point series. Her trade women's fiction novel Four Friends debuted at number five on the New York Times.

A television talk show host returns to her childhood summer home to rebuild her life after she's fired for falling ratings. The return is bittersweet as the house has been neglected for years. She's flooded with memories of the wonderful summers she spent with her sisters and cousins before a tragic event changed everything. Working to uncover what really happened the last summer they were all together, she reaches out to her family and the women all gather for an uneasy family reunion. As they share their stories, they realize their recollections of their summer childhoods are vastly different and no one's lives are what they'd dreamed of when they were children. But being together again helps them all to heal from the scars of the past.

Nice end of Summer Story

Wonderful story but the ending felt a little too tidy. Narration was very well done.

I've been a Robyn Carr fan for a while but this might be a new favorite of mine from her.

Loved it!

Great characters, story and setting. This is one of those books where you wish you could meet the characters and they stay with you long after the book ends. Highly recommend.

Absolutely loved this book

We so pleasantly surprised by this book. It actually made me cry. A book as NEVER done that before for me. The characters are well built and believable, and the storyline through this family is fantastic.

Sweet story

I thought the story was very sweet, and at times funny. The ending was a bit bittersweet but not a surprise.
