Book of Summer by Michelle Gable
4.0
I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my unbiased opinion.
When Bess receives a call from her father asking her to go to Nantucket and convince her mother to move out of the home her grandparents built 99 years ago before it falls into the sea, Bess agrees. Still, seeing that the backyard is gone takes her by surprise when she arrives in Nantucket. Bess does everything in her power to convince Cissy to move and gets some unexpected help from her high school boyfriend, Evan. The story goes back and forth between the modern day and her grandmother Ruby's experiences at the house during World War II.
The two story lines are equally strong; I found myself getting immersed in both of them. I loved the idea of people staying at the house wring in the Book of Summer. Readers of women's fiction will love this story.
