Fast forward to the following summer - about 15 months later - and the two women have moved in to Maine This is the second Holly Chamberlin book I've read, and I can honestly say I'm not a fan. Fast forward to the following summer - about 15 months later - and the two women have moved in to Maine to live in their mother's Grandmother's house for the summer.
And so the story begins. Some impressions I had while reading it were: The widow, Freida, has not seen her father since he left her and her mother when she was Her mother, Ruby, has been in contact with him off and on, but he never reached out to his daughter in all the years since his leaving. Yet he starts calling to talk to Freida while she is staying at the house with her mother. This story line was, in my opinion, useless. I didn't feel it helped the story at all, and I found myself skimming those parts to get to the next scene. In chapter 8, right near the beginning of the book , Freida bumps into a man she used to know when she lived in town when she went to school.
As soon as he enters the picture, you know he is going to be her love interest. However, right when she meets him in the gardening store, we read that: "Freida bet he could still fit into his high school basketball uniform. The thought made her flush with embarrassment. I didn't think this was necessary, it seemed over the top.

Bella is your average teenager, dealing with grief and survivor's guilt from the trauma of the loss of her father and sister. At the beginning of the book she is sullen and at times hurtful, and selfish. Throughout the story she changes, makes a dangerous friend only one person as a friend in the entire summer? Then the dangerous friend gets more dangerous and so Bella suddenly reverts to being the 'good kid', the voice of reason.
Is this reality? I don't know, as we really have no way of knowing how this character was before the accident,so we can't know if this is common for her or a new persona coming out of the summer experience.

The final main character, Ruby, the grandmother, put me off because she was written as if she was a year old, not a 64 year-old woman. I am all for people who defy their ages, but all three characters seemed to have the same voice. The voice of a middle aged adult in the way they spoke. I did enjoy the hints of Maine - the mentions of Wells and Ogunquit as I am a frequent visitor to the area and so it was nice to read the descriptions of the locations however, I thought that these people should really have spent more time at the beach.
In only a few mentions did they spend any time there and while I understand being busy, it just seemed that if you are going to write a book that takes place at the southern coast of Maine in the summer, your characters should spend more than one rainy day at Marginal Way, an evening picnic at Ogunquit and shopping in Portland. Seriously, no mention of the trolleys? As this is the second novel I have read from this author, and neither of them impressed me, I doubt I will read another.

This was a beautiful story of love and family, and learning to live again. Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington After Frieda's husband and younger daughter are killed in an accident, Frieda and her older daughter Bella return to Frieda's Mom's house for the summer.

Some important themes, such as drug abuse, add a needed touch of realism. Sep 29, Diana rated it liked it. Kind of slow, and a sad story that was a bit too much focused on backstory and character development then moving the story along for my taste. Jul 05, India Caedmon rated it it was amazing.
You can't fake these stars, baby! Heartache, loss, regret, Holly Chamberlin gives us a trip to Levelhurricane-projecting-off-my-FACE-land in this stunning portrait of finding home. Jamaica is actually quite fabulous Queue the tears. Gaaawd this book! How is Bella going to recover from this? Keyword: TRY. Therapy, bottling up emotions, you name it and these two have tried it.
Eventually, Bella withdraws from her mother and Frieda is desperate for her fun-loving daughter to return.
Bella is this corpse moseying around without a soul nor personality. Maybe she should have left Bella alone in the library, content with her own thoughts. So off to Grandma's house we go! Yorktide, Maine to be exact. Incoming: Jack. Yaaaas a patient hunk-o-man!

This is just what I need, friends! Whoot whoot! Bella, too, finds friends and Ruby is the catalyst to all of this healing. Generations apart, Bella, Frieda, and Ruby are all harboring their own fears and what-ifs. But now that they are all together — and home — they are able to heal. This book is immaculate.

There was no choice but to succeed. There was no choice but the accept the new reality and face the new future. Your heart will surrender and be completely encased in these unforgettable characters. Home for the Summer is heart wrenching and addictive. I was completely engrossed in this story of loss and strength. Jul 07, Terri rated it really liked it Shelves: netgalley. I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you! This story was just released. Full Disclosure: Life got in the way between the time that I finished this story and now when I am finally sitting down to write my thoughts.
As I had many swirling around in my head when I completed it, some of those thoughts may now be lost with the passage of time. I apologize in advance if my words are not eloquent or if all of my thoughts do not make it to "paper as I had planned them. Hopefully I will not do any disservice as a result. I am going to try not to rehash the plot of the book. The synopsis captures it well and the rest can be discovered by reading the story for yourself. My first thought upon completion of this story is that this would make a great book club read.
The reason? It covers many topics which there are a wide variety of views and differing opinions on. I can just visualize the heated debates that could take place from some of the themes touched on. I myself have not opinion on the matter however I can see how there could be two distinctive camps on this one. The ones that think Frieda moved on too soon while the others who think that love should be captured whenever it is presented to itself.
The second would be Frieda's relationship with her father, and I say the word father very loosely. As you can tell, I do have a strong opinion on this one. I felt that he did not deserve any acknowledgement from Frieda. I can argue this one until I am blue in the face. I don't care about the good memories that occurred up until he left when Frieda was eleven hopefully I remembered the age correctly, as mentioned I finished the book a few days ago.
The fact that her left without contact until she was an adult is unforgiveable in my books. I know the story angles it as a story of forgiveness and unconventional family dynamics however it would never fly in my world. I would have that door shut, locked with a deadbolt, and the key thrown away. Family is not about DNA but about those who love and support you through their actions. As mentioned, book clubs could have a field day with this one. Another topic would be how Bella was dealing with her grief and the dysfunctional friendship she struck up while spending the summer with her grandmother.
