Description

Summer by the Sea is a beautiful, heart-warming summer read about sisters, first love and not always getting what we want – but sometimes ending up with exactly what we need.

They say there’s always one summer that changes you. 

For Faith the one summer she can’t forget is when she fell in love as a teenager – only for her sister, Casey, to steal her man.  Now, at the request of her beloved ninety-year-old Grandmother, Faith has agreed to a family holiday – at their childhood beach house, where it all began.  

Faith hasn’t seen her sister in years but is finally ready to forgive and forget, enjoy the sunshine and relive happy memories.  What she’s not ready for is meeting Jake Buchanan – the owner of the beach house – or the long-forgotten feelings he ignites in her. 

Can Faith overcome the hurt of the past, rekindle the close bond she had with Casey and make this summer THE ONE to remember?

  • Worth reading if you love the Outer Banks

    If the Sunset Grille and Kitty Hawk Kites are part of your summers, or the summers you remember fondly, then this book is worth a read. The author obviously loves the Outer Banks for its (dwindling) natural beauty and peace. I'm not sure I'd call it a feel-good summer read--it's a bit heavier than that in many parts, too much angst in places...but still an enjoyable quick read, though not unpredictable.
