The Summer Sail: A Novel | Wendy Francis
9 posts | 6 read | 14 to read
A trio of college friends who reunite aboard a cruise ship experience an unforgettable vacation in this compelling novel from the author of The Summer of Good Intentions, which was hailed as everything a summer read should be by Elin Hilderbrand. Three college roommates are celebrating a twentieth wedding anniversary by taking a cruise to Bermuda. As the ship pulls away from the pier, everyone is looking forward to lounging by the pool, sipping sunset cocktails, and reminiscing. Abby, the mother hen of the group, will be celebrating her wedding anniversary in style, even as she and her husband keep a secret from the group. Ambitious career woman Caroline happily anticipates several stress-free days away from her magazine job with her boyfriend, Javier, who may or may not be finally inspired to propose. And single mom Lee (annoyingly gorgeous and irresistibly popular in college) hopes shell win back the affections of her formerly sweet daughter Lacey, who after her first year in college, has inexplicably become a little bit of a monster. As the balmy pink shores of Bermuda come into view, tensions simmer, and old jealousies flare, sending the temperature from soothing to scorching in this engrossing tale of three best friends on a vacation they wont soon forgetbut not for the reasons they expect.

Exactly what I expected!!! Three college friends embark on a cruise to the #Bahamas where old secrets are revealed and new discoveries are made. Lacked depth and very predictable but an easy breezy #vacationread 🚢☀️#ReadingTheAmericas
I bought this for $2.19 on #BookOutlet and I feel that‘s about right -

Cinfhen I sent this one your way too @Megabooks xxx Box should be arriving today 🤞🏼 2y
Librarybelle That does look like a perfect vacation read! 2y
BarbaraBB That seems perfect for your stay in FL too! 2y
Megabooks @Cinfhen oh fun!! I could use a good beach read during these blah winter months. Thank you!!! 💕💜 2y
Cinfhen Definitely felt the pink sands, blazing sun and hit all the vacation vibes @Megabooks @BarbaraBB @Librarybelle 2y

I struggled through this book, it just didn‘t work for me. I was looking for a light summer read and found myself reading a book with way too much description and repeated conversation. Nobody wants to read 320 pages where the characters concentrate so hard on themselves that the story loses track of the important things. What I did enjoy about this book was the scene descriptions of the cruise ship and the pink sand and blue waters of Bermuda.

I really enjoyed reading this book. Three women (who are long-standing friends) and their families take a cruise in celebration of a 20th wedding anniversary. Of course there are many adventures that occur on the journey and no one is unchanged by the end of the trip. I recommend this book and plan to explore other works of the author.

My favourite summer reads have always been that book that captures the delicate balance between the serious and the fun. And The Summer Sail by Wendy Francis did just that....A thoroughly entertaining summer read!

Three college friends getting together for their yearly catch-up decided on a cruise paid for by Abby and her husband.

If you need a pick me up and an idea for getting back together with friends from your younger years, THE SUMMER SAIL will make you want to give your best girlfriends a call and suggest meeting.

If you're looking for a beach read this summer, I highly recommend The Summer Sail by Wendy Francis! I just finished it and loved it! ❤

The premise didn't sound that interesting at first but with the weather finally nice and warm, I'm so down for books with summer vibes and this was perfect! I loved reading about all the different relationships and friendships, especially the mother-daughter bond between Lee and Lacey. This is such a fun book 😍
