Genre: contemporary, women's fiction
Description: The women who spent their childhood summers in a small southern town discover it harbors secrets as lush as the marshes that surround it...
Bonny Blankenship's most treasured memories are of idyllic summers spent in Water's End, South Carolina, with her best friend, Lainey McKay. Until the night that Lainey's mother disappeared.
Now, in her early fifties, Bonny is desperate to clear her head after a tragic mistake threatens her career and her marriage crumbles. With her troubled teenage daughter, Piper, in tow, she goes back to the beloved river house, soon joined by Lainey and her two young children. They reunite with bookshop owner Mimi, who is tangled with the past and its mysteries. As the three women cling to a fragile peace, buried secrets and long ago loves return like the tide. (Goodreads)
My take: A book for summer - an idyllic setting, with mysteries from the past to unravel and problems of the present to resolve.
Sounds like a perfect summer read!
