This was my first Jenny Hale book and I enjoyed it, but wasn't my favourite book I've read.Īn Island Summer follows Meghan, a waitress from New York City who is returning to the town that she grew up in with her grandfather. Thanks to NetGalley for allowing me to read An Island Summer by Jenny Hale. I received an ARC from Bookouture through NetGalley. I enjoyed this story very much and would recommend it to my family, friends, and anyone reading the review. The story kept me reading, and like in the story Megan and others could sense things, I could sense some things while reading this, but like them didn't know why. When she arrives, there is some mystery, some past meets the present, and she just knows she is being guided to find things. She hadn't been back since her Pappy died ten years ago, but she just sensed she had to go there. Megan went back to the Outer Banks to the cottage she inherited from her Pappy. The book intrigued me, I do sometimes think we get the feeling that we need to do something or be someplace, and we have to decide if we do it or not. Many times, I felt like there were things that you couldn't see, it was just below the surface. I felt like they were right in knowing this is where they are meant to be, but then you have to find out why. This happens in the story, which I liked. Sometimes people do things that they have no idea why but when they get there, they just know this is where they are supposed to be. Thank you to NetGalley, Bookouture, and Jenny Hale for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. This one kept me up at night in a good way. Each supporting character has their own story and all are just as important as the next. This book takes you on a ride through Hatteras Island from the Golden Age of Hollywood era all the way until the present. Part drama, with a little mystery thrown in. With no idea what either of them mean, she sets out on an adventure that teaches her not just about her beloved Pappy but also about herself. Finally opening the manilla envelope he left for her, she finds a photograph and an old key. Shes spent a decade running from his memory, and coming back opens up old wounds shes never allowed to heal. This one was truly a delight!įeeling like her life is going nowhere, Meghan quits her dead end waitressing job in New York and heads to her grandpas cottage on Hatteras Island. Summer reads are my jam! There is absolutely nothing that makes me smile bigger than the creek, sunshine, and a new summer romance.
