A Hundred Summers by Beatriz Williams

5.0

It’s 1938 and New York socialite Lily Dane has just returned with her family to the idyllic oceanfront community of Seaview, Rhode Island, expecting another placid summer season among the familiar traditions and friendships that sustained her after heartbreak. That is, until the Greenwalds decide to take up residence in Seaview. Nick and Budgie Greenwald are an unwelcome specter from Lily’s past: her former best friend and her former fiancé, now recently married are the last thing she was expecting to encounter over summer at Seaview. But the ties that bind Lily to Nick are too strong and intricate to ignore, and the two are drawn back into long-buried dreams, despite their uneasy secrets and many emotional obligations. review: I love historical fiction and Beatriz Williams has quickly become one of my favorite authors when it comes to that genre. I absolutely love her writing style – she does a wonderful job of placing you in the time period and allowing you to really imagine the characters. While this isn’t a “fast-paced” book, I really enjoyed it and I liked that it alternates between 1931 and present time in 1938. There were quite a few twists in the book and overall I really enjoyed it! rating: 5 out of 5 stars ⭐️
