Princess Fuzzypants here: There were times when I wanted to scream at Beth. She was such a deluded doormat that it was frustrating to read how she would acquiesce to her husband and convince herself if she tried hard enough, she could make it all work out. Abused woman can rationalize almost anything and do. It does not make reading about it any easier. But unlike many tragic cases, Beth does finally confront her demons and takes back her life.
The cost is heartbreaking. She loses so much to gain a small measure of herself. I will not spoil the plot but there was a point where I cried. That is a compliment to the author. She is able to stir great emotion but it does take the reader on a rollercoaster ride. Beth is finally forced to look at her life and her husband and choose. She makes healthy decisions and the book ends on a promising note. It is a reward for the gruelling journey. Both Beth and the reader deserve a break.
Four purrs and two paws up.

Another win on #Netgalley #ARC #summersquall #sarahjones #bookstagram #bookreview #booknerd #obsessed #ilovebooks #kindlefire I love how this book had just enough details in it but it wasn't so over the top you wanted to skip ahead a few. #dontlieyoubedoneittoo this story is about the strength of women and the bonds of friendships. It's about love and marriage and maybe not quite knowing who Mr. Right is. #intriguing #mysterious you were rooting for the main character all while trying to figure out "her story". It was a quick fun read and I'd definitely recommend to all my #readerfriends #bookhangover

A good book, full of emotions, engrossing and entertaining.
I loved the well written cast of characters, the setting, and the plot that flows and keeps you hooked.
I look forward to reading other books by this author.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

Great read. The author wrote a story that was interesting and moved at a pace that kept me engaged. The characters were easy to invest in.

“Summer Squall” is a great book to bring along for a beach day, just be careful not to get burnt because this book draws you in to the point that it’s easy to lose all track of time. Love is full of give and take and compromises. This novel explores what happens when one side takes more than they ever give.
