About the book:
Summer‘s List (River North, June 2015)

A dying wish alters the course of a young woman’s life.

Life hadn’t been easy for Summer Snow. In acts of selflessness—caring for her ailing parents and running her grandmother’s bookstore—she had forfeited her youth and dreams for the needs of others. And the only tries she had at love . . . didn’t turn out. She had the bookstore, she had her beloved granny, but she was missing something—or someone.

Opportunity strikes when Granny sends Summer on an unexpected adventure with one Martin Langtree, a kind but gangly young man from Summer‘s past. A childhood friendship is rekindled, a romance is sparked, and mysteries are solved in one magical Texas summer. Will Summer strike out on love again, or will things finally go her way?

My thoughts:

 

Summer’s List captivated me.  First, her name is Summer.  Second, she’s doing the list in the . … . you guessed it summer.  Plus her last name is Snow.  I won’t tell you how that plays into the ending but know it’s perfectly perfect!

 

I loved the book just so you know!  I loved that Summer was so close to her grandmother and I loved that she was willing to actually complete a list for the sake of her grandmother.  Summer had a hard life and yet she still had hope. . . well until her grandmother died.  Grandma knew what she was doing when she made sure that Summer was going to have a friend around once she passed away.

 

I know from personal experience how hard it can be to lose a grandma you’re close to.  Mine didn’t raise me, but she loved me!  It was so hard.  I didn’t eat cat food though.  You’re going to LOVE this book!
