This was a nice break from what I was reading. Not perfect. If Mallory said one more thing about tattoo I was going to scream. I have plenty of tattoos and work in finance 🙄. I did like the pit-bull representation. They are misunderstood. A nice summer read.

Kloves2read I love Barbara Delinskys earlier books better than her current work. In particular, Flirting With Pete, The Women Betrayed, Twilight Whispers, and The Summer I Dared. I personally feel she lost her writing spark. 4y
Skeebies05 @Kloves2read Yup! I almost bailed early on with this one but I needed brain candy and it worked. But lots of eye rolling to get through it. 4y

This line gave me an ick feeling. “She should have been mine” in regards to the main character‘s daughter. Umm that isn‘t a sweet thing to say - its creepy.

Delinsky delivers a big meaty beach read just in time for summer holiday kick off, Memorial Day. 2 families, 3 sisters, relationships & marriages broken, & 1 mysterious death. Can 1 week at the shore mend fences, heal relationships, & provide answers? I loved the character of Mallory and her daughter Joy! I wish there was more resolution on the mystery but, overallI really enjoyed this book by the iconic Delinsky!

Our first winter in Alaska and Bryson is thinking we need more blankets :) #dogsoflitsy

This book was very well done, the pacing, characters, family dynamics, setting, tone, were all spot on. It had just the amount of family drama and mystery/suspense to make it very believable and compelling.

I won this ARC in a #goodreadsgiveaway and the release date is - 5/19/2020
