Forever Summer
Forever Summer | Jamie Brenner
28 posts | 21 read | 22 to read
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: at twenty-eight she has a handsome fiance, a prestigious Manhattan legal career, and the hard-won admiration of her father. But with one careless mistake, she's on the verge, suddenly, of losing everything. When a forbidden tryst with a high-powered partner at her firm is exposed, Marin finds herself unemployed and alone, all in a single day, and terrified to admit such messiness to her parents, whose thirty-year marriage is, in her eyes, the model romance. Before Marin can summon the courage to face her family, a young woman from LA, Rachel Moskowitz, shows up, claiming to be Marin's half-sister and urging Marin to accompany her on a soul-searching journey to Cape Cod. Needing to escape and looking for her own answers, Marin soon finds herself on a surreal road trip to Provincetown, where she and Rachel seek refuge with Amelia, Rachel's paternal grandmother and the longtime owner of a beloved beachside inn on the verge of shuttering. Just when it seems like things can't get any more complicated, Marin's mother appears at the inn, bringing with her shocking truths that will shake Marin's beliefs--in love, in her own identity, and in where she came from--even further. Full of delicious descriptions of coastal New England and richly imagined characters, THE FOREVER SUMMER is an emotional, hot-topic page-turner and a powerful exploration of what happens when our notions of love, truth, and family are put to the ultimate test."

Excellent summer reading, the pacing felt a bit weird (characters seemed a little too familiar too fast) but it‘s not like I picked this expecting it to be super realistic.

TODAY‘S PROMPT: COME TOGETHER

“THE FOREVER SUMMER brings together an unknown half sister, a grandmother, and memories of a father the sisters never knew.

The generations of women and how they connected as strangers was wonderful, and the beach setting was perfect for the connections and story line.”

Sooooo many books have a summer setting. Here's just s taste what I've got to read still. Anyone tackle these yet? #summertitles #sizzlinsummerreads

KathyWheeler I read All Summer Long and didn't like it. Frank seems to be hit or miss with me and that one was a miss. 7y
Purrfectpages @KathyWheeler I don't think I've read any books by her before. I could be wrong. 7y
KathyWheeler @Purrfectpages She's one I generally like for beach reading, but every so often one of her books will just go off the rails. To me, this was one. I didn't like anyone in it. (edited) 7y

It's not a bad book. It's a sweet story with great metaphors. I don't need a story to wrap up perfectly. I prefer a more realistic approach. It's a fine summer read and keeps one turning the pages, just too predictable and nicely tied up to be memorable for me.

Family secrets, complicated relationships, and newly discovered truths to be uncovered at every corner. This book is packed with heart and unexpected turns. Exactly what a summer read should be!

We're under a heat warning here, with a current "feels like" temperature of 35. If this heat keeps up, it certainly will feel like summer forever! This #summerreads is from my TBR. #riotgrams

This was really good. There's a pretty strong gay theme thruout so if that's not your thing, just an FYI. No sex, it's just....there.
Anyway, I enjoyed this a lot. I'm bothered by how the one sister "appears" to be repeating her mother's devastating secret but I guess we'll never know. I love the Provincetown setting! I want to spend a summer there.

This would be great to listen to at the beach! For our June book club, I'm looking forward to discussing it at next week's meeting! I didn't love the characters but all the secrets flying made this a fun read nonetheless! #BookClub #BeachReads #AudioBook #AudioColoring
