Ann Brashares (Author of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants) brings to life a perfect summer novel set in a quaint island. Two sisters in their twenties, Riley and Alice spend every summer at their parent's beach house. The story also introduces Paul, a close family friend to both girls who grows up in the same town. After three years he returns to the island, but his return marks a season of change, unspoken feelings, tragedy and deep secrets that will mix into this trio's adulthood. Alice and Paul begin a deep felt romance without letting Riley in on their secret. One day, their happiness ends when tragedy strikes the sisters and the story becomes very bittersweet. This is a great book for fans of Brashares and the author Emily Giffin. I think a lot of older teens who have just finished high school would enjoy this as a summer read.
