Synopsis: On Quinnipeague, hearts open under the summer stars and secrets float in the Sweet Salt Air...
Charlotte and Nicole were once the best of friends, spending summers together in Nicole's coastal island house off of Maine. But many years, and many secrets, have kept the women apart. A successful travel writer, single Charlotte lives on the road, while Nicole, a food blogger, keeps house in Philadelphia with her surgeon-husband, Julian. When Nicole is commissioned to write a book about island food, she invites her old friend Charlotte back to Quinnipeague, for a final summer, to help. Outgoing and passionate, Charlotte has a gift for talking to people and making friends, and Nicole could use her expertise for interviews with locals. Missing a genuine connection, Charlotte agrees.
But what both women don't know is that they are each holding something back that may change their lives forever. For Nicole, what comes to light could destroy her marriage, but it could also save her husband. For Charlotte, the truth could cost her Nicole’s friendship, but could also free her to love again. And her chance may lie with a reclusive local man, with a heart to soothe and troubles of his own.
Review: I loved this book from the second chapter! All of Barbara's novels do the same thing- they draw you in, set you in the book, and you never want to leave! This book is NO exception! It is really the epitome of a Summer read, as it takes place primarily over the course of a Summer on an island, we all wish we could escape to! Nicole and Charlotte are real- they suffer anguish, fears, anxiety, false assumptions and secrets like 'real' people, and that is what makes Barbara's books so special- the characters could be you, your friends, your family members. She resolves the secret in a wonderful way, and Nicole and Charlotte find their way back to each other, as true friends always do!
Even if you don't win this one- pick it up for a perfect Summer read!
