SYNOPSIS:

From New York Times bestselling author Joanne DeMaio comes a novel of one unforgettable week at the shore -- during a summer that changes everything.

Every summer has a story. That couldn't be more true for Jason and Maris Barlow, the Bradford brothers, soon-to-be innkeepers Elsa and Celia, and the rest of The Seaside Saga cast. But this particular summer is leaving its mark on the New England beach town of Stony Point. As lone lobsterman Shane settles in for another week at his rented bungalow by the sea, emotional tides turn. Relationships come unmoored; secret love affairs surface; family bonds are tested.

So head under the trestle, walk the cottage-lined streets, sit on the sandy boardwalk, and spend Every Summer with your favorite beach friends. They're waiting for you.

MY REVIEW:

Every Summer (The Seaside Saga #10) by Joanne DeMaio
Have read every book since the first one and feel as if this groups of friends and family are my next door neighbors.
A story of the beach area and the people in it and what they go through over the course of a week.
This one I feel very emotional about because of the turmoil for so many in the story that I know will get resolved because
1. the sea air will cure what ails you
2. friends don't leave others alone-they meddle to get things fixed.
Learned a few new things this book also, which is a major plus for me when reading.
Love the location as the water, waters, smells, colors are just so described you can see them in your own eyes and mind as if you are the one sitting on the drift line.
Love that Maris is continuing through with the novel of Neil's journals and that Shane although not welcome may get the chance to talk to his brother after 15 years.
Love that they go back in time-I didn't realize a lot of things as they are still coming out in talks with others. I'ts a 'ah ha' moment for me as I hear about them for the first time.
New romances have a spark and light up.
Not sure if I am happy about them or sad and both at times. Felt I had tears in my eyes a lot of this story, it was very touching as some of the events mimic parts of my life.
Hated to see it end and know there is another to follow-can't wait to read that one.
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.
