The Second Home by Christina Clancy
4.0

It’s been 15 years since that terrible summer. The one that changed all their lives forever. Now Ann’s parents have passed and she must go back to get the cape house ready to be sold. The house has been in her family for generations, but coming back here is bringing back all the memories of that last summer. All the sudden, not only are the memories returning, but Michael is suddenly back as well, and wants to set the record straight.

This novel was so great. Clancy’s writing left me feeling like I knew each of the characters, and I could truly imagine the situations they were going through. I’m all about a good family drama and I felt this one was not only great but had a lot of unique storylines that I haven’t seen in a lot of other books. I hated characters, I loved others, and I wanted to scream when they were manipulated and turned against each other. If you enjoy family dramas, I highly recommend picking this one up on June 2nd!

Thank you to St. Martins Press and netgalley for my gifted copy of this book!
