All of her stories are a delight to read and always set somewhere I would truly love to be. I never experienced going to a summer camp but so many people grew up with this being a staple in their childhood. This story brings you some of the best parts of finding extended families and wanting to be a part of a bigger world out there. ( ) This is the story of the songbirds, young women who first met at summer camp when they were 6 years old. Through the years, their friendship solidified and grew. Daphne and Lanier were the best of friends, almost sisters, with Mary Stuart filling out the group. Daphne's aunt June owns Camp Holly Springs, which is now in financial trouble. The songbirds agonize over losing their camp that helped them build confidence and trust, and was also the site of their first loves. Now, in their 30s, Mary Stuart is married, Lanier is engaged, and Daphne is a single mom. But, Daphne still yearns for Huff, her first love and Lanier's brother, but Lanier doesn't want them together due to Daphne's troubled past. Can they overcome obstacles and find love, family, and save the camp? Great story of friendship. If you love summer reads about sisterhood, this book is for you. We are introduced to Daphne, Lanier and Mary Stuart, as little girls they are in the same cabin at an all girls sleep away camp. The trio become fast friends and stay that way thru their growing up years, even becoming counselors, in spite of trials and tribulations. They come together this summer to try to save their much loved Camp Holly Springs from closing. Have read and enjoyed previous books by this author, I had to read this one. Characters are easy to like, flawed, relatable each in their own way. They are argumentative, supportive, inquisitive. Each woman tells her story, with the addition of Daphne’s Aunt June, owner of the ailing camp. The storylines were easy to follow and all come together nicely. Perfect book for a late summer vacation, a lazy weekend at home or get the kids on the bus, grab a coffee and read! Drama! Weddings on the horizon! Secrets! Second chance romance! Women squealing with excitement! This is a summer story of longtime girlfriends as close as sisters. Greatly anticipated as one of this year’s top beach reads, it was too much chick-lit for me. The three 30-year-old main characters were still acting like high-schoolers throughout this novel about saving a beloved summer camp. The chapters, alternating between three women (two of the girlfriends and an aunt) all seemed like they were told by the same person, so I had to keep flipping back the pages to find out whose point of view was being shared. It was a predictable testament to female friendship that has found a grateful audience, but sadly this book is not for me. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
