Lies, secrets, sex, violence, addiction, and betrayal have estranged the Solomon siblings from each other and the people who love them the most. Each one has to come to terms with the messes they’ve made as they try to reconnect as a family in an attempt to save their legacy. I was a big fan of One Summer in Savannah and am in awe of how easily Harris juggles multiple POVs and creates living, breathing characters that you don’t know whether to hug or shake. The drama in this book chewed up my Kindle battery and kept me up late reading in the dark. Don’t miss it.

This book started off a bit slow for me because I didn’t feel invested in the characters, except for Mance and Tokey. Junior and Cece, who were both deeply flawed characters, took longer for me to understand. The plot wasn’t as interesting to me as the character development of each sibling, who all learned and grew. I really enjoyed how the story ended!

I didn’t love this. I loved one summer in Savannah and expected to love this one the same but didn’t. It was hard for me to follow the story line and I think there were too many characters and I got lost. 

I will say this book addressed some really hard topics surrounding family, grief and identity and I think the author did a fabulous job exploring those topics.
