I love sharing a weekend review when everyone has a little more time to have a read and click to buy a book, today I am sharing my review for Summer at my Sisters which is the first book set is Seahorse Harbour.
My Review
A wonderful uplifting story set in the fictional seaside location of Seahorse Harbour. Emily always creates wonderful characters that creates the feeling that you personally know them and encourage you to keep reading.
This story introduces twins Josie & Diana and we spend the summer getting to know these very different sisters who as time goes by start to see eachothers lives from a different point of view.
I loved the descriptions in this story and the paddleboarding and visits to the lido remind me of summers on the beach when I was in my teens.
A wonderful uplifting story about letting down your emotional barriers and that love can come from the most unexpected places. I loved this story and can’t wait to visit Seahorse Harbour again as it was a book that left me feeling happy and positive.
Book Blurb
Twin sisters. One scorching summer. A bucketful of secrets.
Diana’s life is perfect. Her twin sister, Josie’s – not so much. But when secrets are revealed this summer, everything will change.
Diana has a rich and successful husband, two talented youngsters and an adorable dog. She always looks as if she’s stepped from the cover of a magazine. Her immaculate second home by the sea, for idyllic summers with her perfect family, was actually featured in one.
Josie has a messy, compact flat, dates, but not relationships, and she can’t even keep a houseplant alive. She moves from job to job, goes clubbing with her friends and often looks as if she’s fallen through a hedge.
Although Josie loves Diana deeply, each year she declines the invitation to spend the summer with her sister. Or any other family holiday. Because Josie has a secret.
But is Diana’s life so perfect? Or is she also hiding something? When secrets are revealed this summer, everything will change. Josie could finally have the life she’s always wanted … if she’s brave enough to take a chance.
This is the first book in my new series of standalone books set in Seahorse Harbour.
