These Summer Storms: A Novel
by Sarah MacLean
I was immediately drawn into this story by Alice's sincere difficulties with both grieving her father's death and the five years she has been without her family. The dynamics of this family are absolutely messy in all the best ways, and her interactions with Jack Dean are complicated from the start. As everyone plays Franklin's game, there are the undercurrents of him laughing at them from beyond the grave the whole time - yet, by the end of the book you could see some of his love for his children, too. I found the ending satisfying without completely wrapping a tight bow around the entire proceedings.
