The Start of Summer by [Walsh, Alison]This is my kind of summer reading. I like to read books in the summer that I want to pick up and read again at any time.
This book revolves around four women who are each trying to find out who they are after having a child. I like how each character evolves throughout this book which is set in Dublin. 
In the beginning of the book three of the women had already formed a tight group, Gracie, Jane and Lina. Elise sees them at the park and tries to join the group. The others know each other from antenatal classes so Elise has some mountains to climb to become a part of the group.
I feel that the author is able to keep the book moving by following each character and adding unexpected twists throughout. This book tugged at my heartstrings as I could relate to each and wanted to make their stories part of me, even though each woman's story was unique.
This is the first book by Alison Walsh that I have read but I will look forward to reading more in the future. 
I received this book from NetGalley and Hachette Books Ireland in exchange for my honest review.
