Book Review: The Summer's End

In The Summer's End, by Mary Alice Monroe, three sisters spend the summer at their grandmother's cottage. During this time, each sister confronts uncertainty from their lives. Through the help of each other and their MaMaw they are able to come to terms, not necessarily in the way they expected, with their concerns and they are able to end the summer knowing the importance each person in that cottage and in their lives have to their future.

I was not sure how I would like this book as it is the third and final book in the series and I had not read the others. However, by the end of the first chapter, I felt like I knew each of the characters and now I want to go back and begin the series with the first book.

Monroe takes the reader through the changes each girl faces without dragging out the story line but instead by letting the story unfold gradually. I will gladly read this book again and again.

I was given this book by the author and by NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
