Jane Green’s seventeenth novel, Summer Secrets, will be released in the US on June 23rd and on July 2nd in the UK. She is the author of sixteen previous New York Times Bestselling novels, including The Beach House, Jemima J, and most recently Saving Grace which is due out in paperback in early June.

I adored this book.  Another hit by Green.  Summer Secrets is packed full of emotion.  When the past comes calling it takes Cat on journey to face secrets of the past and forces her to face her own personal demons head on.  This book is such a gem.  The characters are intense, flawed and haunted.  I loved how you can follow a story over a span of time and grow and change with the characters.  There is drama, both of the heart and that of family, love, forgiveness, growth and acceptance all wrapped into a story that kept me turning pages and rooting for a happily ever after for all of the characters.  With Green voice and her wonderful story telling ability Summer Secrets is another book not to be missed!   5 stars
