nickieandremus 's review for:
The Second Home
by Christina Clancy
***I received an advanced e-copy from Net Galley in exchange for my honest review
One summer, something unspeakable happens to Ann while her family is spending the summer at their Cape Cod beach house. It sets off a chain of events that tears Ann, her sister Poppy, and their adopted brother Michael apart.. Fifteen years later, their parents die in a terrible accident, and Ann wants to sell the beach house. Then Michael resurfaces with a legitimate claim to the home, and old resentments are stirred up. However, if Ann and Michael can put aside their anger for a little while, they may find that things didn't happen quite the way they always believed they did.
This was family drama at its best. It drew me in and kept me turning the pages, wanting to find out what would happen next. It was like watching a soap opera, only with less glamorous characters. Ann was that girl you knew in high school who had perfect grades and was popular and a little stuck-up, Poppy was a "free spirit" shall we say, and Michael had a tragic past and lost both of his parents when he was sixteen so the Gordon's wanted to adopt him. I loved this book, with all of the drama, and I thought it just had a really good story to it. So I highly recommend it.
