Okay book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 6, 2022

This book was just okay. I liked the characters and storyline but there was way too much repetition. Yes, her husband cheated. Yes she got married too young. Yes her daughter had cancer. Yes she didn’t go to college. I just don’t need to read about it 50 times in just the first half of the book. It seems like the author was just spinning her wheels.

I love this author and her stories but this was a story that kept you turning the pages to see what happens next. You often felt you were right there and wanted to laugh with the characters and share in their emotions. Good to the last sentence .

Great read

I love all the complex relationships in this book. The mother daughter relationship is quite interesting, she idolized her father until she sees he's not the perfect man she thought. But the son and his mother have a much more relaxed relationship, he saw his father's flaws at a much younger age and kept it to himself. The mother's friend doesn't seem to realize how much her actions are bothering her personally, did she not explain how her marriage had ended? Why do women follow their men so blindly?

Really Good Second Chance Read

Slow start with mounting drama turns into a full fledged great read. Loved most of the characters which changed realistically during the read. Coming of age doesn't always mean people are adult enough to plan their futures. Some adults have to take stock to get a second chance.

The Summer Getaway is such a heartwarming read. You have Robyn who is the glue to her family to the point even her ex-husband goes to her for advice. Austin is the youngest of Robyn's two children. He is the one coasting through life at 18 and still looking for his purpose. He sees everything and will put a smile on your face with some of the advice he gives out. Harlow is the oldest of Robyn's children. She is the most dramatic and has this bratty way about her. She has a lot of growing to do and you may not care for her at first but just wait she is full of surprises. Robyn takes a much-needed break to reconnect with her aunt and help go through all the priceless treasures she has collected over the years. This is Robyn finally giving herself a chance to focus on herself past being a mother and an ex-wife and going for what she wants. Mason is that piece of the puzzle that Robyn never realized was missing. He is amazing and you are going to fall hard for this ex-military guy. Robyn and Mason have amazing chemistry and I love how supportive he is of her. Mason will steal your heart as he bonds with Austin and Harlow. This is a summer journey for all that will warm your heart so much as everyone grows and finds what really matters to them. This is a book on healing, family and love that keeps you glued to the pages. I loved every moment of this one and could not get enough of Robyn and her family. There are so many little giggle moments that will keep it a lighter read when it could get heavy. You need to read this one.

Great summer read with enough unexpected turns to keep it interesting. Not necessarily realistic but it could happen.

Enjoy! I’m looking forward to Susan’s next book.

Robyn Carr is a master at her craft and at having her readers care about and understand her characters and their motivations. Her books are a must buy for me.

I absolutely loved this book!
Thank you, Susan Mallery, for giving me these fantastic characters to have in my life.
Robyn had to idea that going to visit her aunt in California would change her life forever.
Mason was perfect! He was perfect in very way possible.
Robyn has two great kids, and they surely depend on her a lot but as the story progressed, they each realized they could do it on their own.
The characters all fit together so well and there was enough emotion to keep me deep in the story!
Susan Mallery has written a book that will be loved by many!

The media could not be loaded.

This was Mt first time reading a Susan Mallery book and I was instantly drawn into the storyline. I tend to get distracted or bored when the character building is taking place but the way this author writes had me intrigued from start to finish! I could read it again!

Something for Everyone

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 17, 2022

I love romance novels. I love Susan Mallery books. She writes some of the best romance. We love romance because we love happy endings. And the happy ending is even better when it’s been hard earned. In The Summer Getaway, Robyn is in need of a getaway. Daughter is going bridezilla, teenage son has moved out temporarily and current boyfriend is a ( not nice word)! So she runs away from life to her safe and happy place with her great aunt. Things are lovely and then one by one the crazies in her life start showing up. Oh my goodness. It’s a fun story, that most of us can relate to in some way or another. I laughed, I shed some tears, I got a little annoyed and then I breathed a happy sigh! I did not want this book to end. Read it today! And if you haven’t yet, you’ll want to be reading all of Susan Mallery’s books!
