The Last Weekend of the Summer by Peter Murphy
Story sounded interesting and am really getting into reading it.
Last weekend of the summer and all the families will assemble at Gloria's house on the lake.
Love that there are so many acitivities for the kids, grown men get time to themselves fishing and drinking, women of the tribe get to gather and plan and the ex of one women will be showing up.
It's all for Gloria's sake-others think it is about her dying, some think she will be moving in to their houses, others think it's about the grandfather.
Lots of drama but deep down feelings also show through. Like that Gloria has to use medical marijuana to get through the pains. Some don't agree with that treatment...
Secrets come out about the past and I like how they are dealt with by everybody. There are very strained moments similar to ones our family has dealt with over the years whenever the whole family got together. Some just don't get along with all, so you avoid them.
Great story, love the ending, a surprise! Love that this book covers all age groups and their realistic daily problems.
About the author and reading group questions and conversation with the author are included at the end. Other works by the author are highlighted also.
Received this review copy from The Story Plant via Netgalley and this is my honest opinion.
