A review by booklover1974
A Month of Summer by Lisa Wingate
4.0
If you’re looking for a emotional and gripping novel with great characters, pick this one up!
This is a book about love, hope but also regret for all the time that has passed, without love.
For Rebecca Macklin, an ordinary summer brings about an extraordinary change of heart when she discovers that her aging father has been wandering the Dallas streets alone, and his wife, Hanna Beth, has landed in a nursing home. Now Rebecca must put aside old resentments and return to her childhood home.
The plot is character driven and they’re very developed. You can follow Rebecca and Hannah Beth in their minds and understand what they’re thinking.
For me personally, this book hit close to home because my father had a large stroke a few years ago and I cried a lot when reading, probably cause my memories came back from that time in my life.
There’s only one thing I wish was a bit different and that’s sometimes there are a lot of details I could be without. It slowed down the pace. Otherwise, a great book!
I would recommend this to people who likes comtemporary fiction with emotional content. I also think people who are drawn to books that don’t have any bad words, sexual content and some religion in it, will love it.
The publishers kindly provided me with a free copy through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
