Many thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Group Dutton for gifting me a digital ARC of the new book by Hannah Orenstein. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!
Vivian and Lucy are half-sisters who have never met. They each spent a month every summer with their father in Maine at his lake house, but separate months, and they had very different lives the rest of the year. When Vivian arrives at the cabin to spread her father's ashes and sell the cabin, she's shocked to find Lucy there, waiting for him and not knowing he died. They are each going through personal crises, and they have to figure out their future.
Told from both Vivian and Lucy's POV, this story pulled me in to explore the complexities of sisters and families, of secrets kept, of grief and longing. I enjoyed the small town Maine setting, and could picture the sunrises. It's a book filled with heart, a little romance, but mostly of family and how it's never too late to start anew.
