Victoria Connelly is an author I just discovered through this NetGalley request and I'll be adding additional copies of her titles to my to-be-read shelf. While reading One Last Summer I laughed, I cried, and I wanted to call each and every one of my friends who has ever meant the world to me and to also live life to the fullest as if tomorrow were an unexpected gift.

It was a moving tale with flawed characters (man, I wanted to smack those girls sometimes) which made them feel very real. The prose was descriptive and I felt like I too was vacationing alongside friends of the heart, experiencing their pain, their frustration, their happiness, their sorrow, the complexities of daily life, and the heartache of knowing you're about to lose someone near and dear, but are powerless to stop it.

Clean and evocative - a plus for fellow readers who are selective in their choices - no sex scenes, no swearing. It was however packed full of feeling and the intricacies of friendship. Highly recommend!

#OneLastSummer #NetGalley

Harrie needs to reconnect with her two best friends. Time is of the essence.
Harrie rents a special old Priory for the entire upcoming summer and invites Audrey and Lisa to join her in the hope of creating new memories together and rekindling their friendship. She also needs to reveal a secret that will change all of them.
The gardens, the chapel, the architecture are breathtaking and the ladies find new goals, new spirit and new memories in this sacred summer space.
"Could she hope to still live in the memory of those she had known?" Harrie will try.
This is a thought provoking novel of love, friendship and truth. I loved the details of the beautiful surroundings that the characters resided in for the summer.
I could feel each women's emotion as the plot began to unfold.
