A review by miaev
The Summer Deal by Jill Shalvis
4.0
Families can suck.
Brynn Turner has two moms and a childhood crush who she is suddenly living with back in Wildstone. The catch is that her childhood nemesis Kinsey Davis also lives in the same house. And Brynn is having issues with this and some secrets that seem to be just below the surface with Kinsey and Eli.
Kinsey will admit she has some issues and having Brynn living in the house is definitely one of them. Kinsey has some serious health issues and without a kidney transplant soon, her health will fail her. There is someone who can donate a kidney that should be a perfect match for her but Kinsey refuses to talk to this person.
The story is very emotional and makes you stop and think about relationships and the families we are born into and the families we create. The characters are well developed like always when written by Ms. Shalvis. But this story didn't seem to catch me like the others in the Wildstone series. Perhaps it is the strange times we are living in while I was reading it. I do plan to go back and re-read this novel again in a few months.
I think the thing to take out of this novel is that not all families are perfect and we have to take the bad with the good. And the families we create are never perfect either.
I did receive a copy of this novel in advance from the author in exchange for an unbiased fair review.
