Publisher Description
Josie Lockner scores big when she’s awarded a summer artist-in-residence in the small beach town of Goda, Massachusetts. The Wellingtons are the perfect host family and Revere Estates the best backdrop. She’s more than ready to capture the beauty of nature with her pencils and brushes. Falling for the Wellingtons’ quiet neighbor, Olivia Monteclair, isn’t in the picture, but just because it won’t last forever doesn’t mean she can’t have some fun.
Olivia’s peaceful days are interrupted when Josie, with her infectious grin and sunny disposition, crowds her space. Was Olivia ever that young or that hungry about life? She isn’t in the market, not after her devastating heartbreak, but there’s something about Josie that brings out a lightness she’s missing from her life.
Both cherish the time spent together, but when the summer ends and their temporary romance melts into the real deal, reality gets complicated.
Customer Reviews
Soooooooooooo gooooooooood 🔥♥️🔥♥️
The dark will not change a vibrantly painted canvas; however, the viewer may need to find a different light source to appreciate its beauty.
I have emotional charley horses. Do I have a huge smile on my face due to the epilogue? Yes, though I need an ice pack for my bruises.
My eyeballs told my brain we had reached 80% of the book and to locate a seatbelt, but I was ill prepared for the gauntlet of feels. Next time, a neck brace for the emotional whiplash, a helmet to keep my thoughts and shouts inside my head, and a bullet proof vest may be needed to shield my heart from the tumult. Possibly some antacids to calm my protesting nerve-filled stomach too. I am exhausted.
What a spectacular read.
The love scenes blazed like a heatwave, the laughter and joy of newness stoked the flames, and 80% of the book you will reminiscence and revel in the beauty of happiness. After that, the writing goes not only for the carotid, but both the anterior and exterior jugular as well. It's arterial spray and it's bloody brilliant.
If you've experienced when life forces you down a path you were not prepared for, you will find their journey cathartic. The universality of life and its lemons may unearth those suppressed sour moments- this book? It will help you add the sugar and the vodka to ease it down. Cheers to a wonderful read.
