The Gordon family are from Wisconsin but spend every summer at their family cottage on Cape Cod. The family adopts teenage Michael and welcomes him into their happy family after he suffered a tragic loss.. Parents Ed and Connie and daughters Ann and Poppy love introducing Michael to the Cape and all the happy memories they've made in the small cottage. Then comes the summer that tears everything apart - suddenly everything is different, everyone has secrets, and they all go their separate ways.
Sixteen years later, Ann and Poppy come together after their parents' death to try and sell their homes. Ann wants to be rid of all the bad memories, Poppy doesn't know how to put down roots, and suddenly Michael is back in the picture claiming rights to the cottage.
Written in each of the siblings different perspectives, this is a novel to lose yourself into. I felt like I was transported to Cape Cod and was so invested in this story - I wanted everyone to just sit down and talk it all out!
Highly recommended and I can't wait to read more from this author!
