Friday 56 is hosted at Freda's Voice and Book Beginnings is hosted by Rose City Reader. The idea is to share a sentence or so from the first page and the 56th page of the book you are currently reading! Also, I will now also include a brief synopsis.
A Brief Synopsis: The discovery of long-buried secrets brings three generations of women together to Cape Cod for the summer homecoming of a lifetime.
Marin Bishop has always played by the rules, and it's paid off: on the cusp of thirty she has a handsome fiancé, a prestigious Manhattan legal career, and her father's hard-won admiration. But with one careless mistake at work, Marin suddenly finds herself unemployed and alone. Before she can summon the courage to tell her parents, a young woman appears, claiming to be Marin's half-sister. Seeking answers, Marin agrees to join her on a soul-searching journey to Cape Cod, to meet the family she didn't even know she had.
As the summer unfolds at her grandmother's beachside B&B, it becomes clear that her half-sister's existence is just the first in a series of truths that will shake Marin's beliefs--in love, and in her own identity--to the core. Filled with shocking revelations, heartfelt romance, and resilient women banding together against the most unexpected twists of fate, THE FOREVER SUMMER is an emotionally resonant page-turner, and a delicious escape for any season.
Beginning of the Book
The annual opening of the Beach Rose Inn marked the unofficial start of summer.

I'm just started this today and am not very far into it; not yet even up to page 56.
Sounds perfect for a spring/summer break. Thanks for sharing. My Friday read is The Last Anniversary by Liane Moriarty.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of this one by Liane Moriarty. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteWell, if I lost my job I;d hope someone came along and offered me a summer at the shore! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice, wouldn't it? Haven't yet gotten to the part she loses her job, but expecting it to happen soon. Thanks for coming by!
DeleteI've heard some good things about this. I hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to also. I've been so slumpy lately. A couple good books recently, but more that have been just average or not even that!
DeleteCan't go wrong with Cape Cod...can you? :-)

Never have been to Cape Cod except in books, but it sounds like a great place, at least in the summer! I need a Wordpress account to comment on your blog, so I can't leave a comment there. Not really into horror any longer. I used to like Dean Koontz.
DeleteI love the setting and the premise of sisters meeting for the first time. Thanks for sharing, and here's mine: “WOMAN NO. 17”
ReplyDeleteI'm only on the third chapter and the chapters are somewhat short except the next one is a bit longer. It's promising; I like the premise of the story, so we'll see.
DeleteNow that's what you should read on a summer holiday! Great cover as well!
ReplyDeleteHope you will have a good weekend and here's my Friday Meets: http://marelithalkink.blogspot.co.za/2017/04/friday-meets-21-april-2017.html
Sounds good. Come see what Grave Visions by Kalayna Price has to offer. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteUmm, not really into horror that much anymore.
DeleteI need more, but it looks like a great beach read! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI usually put more than one sentence, but I was in a real rush this week when I was posting.
DeleteI am so ready for summer! This looks like a good one!
ReplyDeleteI'm so ready for nice and warm weather. We've been having lots of rain lately, but I guess April showers bring mMay flowers!
DeletePerfect for a summer read! :)
ReplyDeleteExcept for the fact I am not really caring for the characters. The story itself is good, though.
ReplyDeleteI read and enjoyed this book,
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
