I started reading The Beach Summerly earlier in the summer but ended up putting it down for several reasons - I made it to page 100 and felt like not much had happened; I was struggling to keep track of characters or find anything about the story that caught my attention. However, I recently decided to try the audiobook because I typically love Beatriz Williams' books and didn't want to miss out on her newest novel.
While I still feel that not much occurred until the last 20% of The Beach at Summerly, I found the storyline more entertaining because of the audio. The narrator did a great job of bringing the story to life.
The Beach at Summerly may not be my favorite book from Beatriz Williams, but it did have a little something for everyone within the pages, and I especially loved seeing Sumner Fox again.

If you've been wanting to read a Beatriz Williams book, I highly recommend reading The Golden Hour (it's one of my favorites from her).
