The Second Home by Christina Clancy
4.0

I'm a sucker for stories where families have a summer home out East. Cape Cod, Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, or Maine all make me wish for a house on the beach to spend the summers. The Gordon family hails from Milwaukee, but treks to Cape Cod each summer to live their best lives. The story is told between the past and the present from the POV of Ann, Poppy, and Michael. I had some issues with elements of the plot, but I don't want to give away the story. I enjoyed the writing and most of the characters enough to give it four stars. Though it was set in the late nineties/early 2000s then present day, it felt as though it could have been in the 50s or 60s. I think some of my issues with elements of the story would be moot if that were the case. This was definitely worth reading. Thank you Netgalley for the ARC!
