A review by devansbooklife
The Summer Wives by Beatriz Williams

4.0

I have read some of the reviews and feel I must have read a different book altogether. I loved this book. I loved the alternating time lines that kept me guessing. I loved the sweet, palpable tenderness between Miranda and Joseph. The character I had the hardest time connecting to was Isobel. Her behavior seemed completely irrational and often infuriating. The final twist wasn't as shocking once all of the information had been gathered. Even though this book is set in the past, I found the basic principles very relevant to today. The Families as they are known, appear happy on the outside. Much like many people on social media. But no one really knows what is going on behind closed doors or what actual lives are like without the filter. I found this book engrossing and it left me wanting more.
