“Feels like summer”is an interesting story that revolves around 3 sisters…Bree, Shelby and Kate. And the story is told via 3 points of view.
Like every family, the sisters cannot live apart one minute, and then want to kill each other the next minute…

Shelby seems to be a free spirit who works hard and parties hard too! She is a successful real estate agent and has a teenage son.

Kate is married to her handsome lawyer husband and has a 3 year old little girl. She loves her little family, but also wants to run away at times!

Bree is an artist who is still trying to find her way…but she knows that she always has her two sisters to turn to, if she ever needs them!

We open up with a police search in the harbor near their homes…

And as we learn more and more about the sisters, we realize that everything is not always as it seems, and sometimes things may be there that you never even see…

As we delve into their friends and relationships, lives start to crumble. Is is too late to pick up the pieces and put them all back together?

Can the sisters really always heal each other?

Pick this one up to find out!

Set in a pretty little beach town on the outskirts of Boston, you feel like summer really has already begun!

3 1/2 ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 for me, rounded up to 4!

Thanks so much for reading! And if you ‘liked’ my review, please share with your friends!! 📚⭐️

This listen was not my cup of tea, unfortunately. So much going on, and nothing going on, all wrapped up in one.

Thank you to Netgalley and Brilliance Publishing (Brilliance Audio) for the chance to listen to this ARC.

I really enjoyed the relationships between the three sisters and the story of the individual stories but I felt like the dead body in the ocean was out of left field. Two of the sisters had infidelity in their story...ones husband was cheating on her and the other was involved with a married man. The third is struggling financially and is hoping that her sisters will help her out. As the join together at the beach, they are trying to hide their issues from each other until they realize they are all struggling. I felt like the storyline of the dead body in the ocean did not really relate to the story especially with it just being an accident. Id it had been Dr. Beau who died instead, I think it would have connected a little more. I still really enjoyed the story and the drama that came with it.

This was my first book by Wendy Francis and it exceeded my expectations. Feels Like Summer is everything I look for in a summer/beach read. The novel starts out with a potential dead body and leaves you guessing throughout as you meet a group of three dysfunctional sisters. I enjoyed reading about all of their hardships and learning how their lives intertwined. The ending was not at all what I expected but I really enjoyed it.

I will definitely be reading more by Wendy Francis.

Thank you to NetGalley, Brilliance Audio, and the author for the opportunity to listen to an ALC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley for the advance audio copy of this title. The Lancaster sisters have always celebrated Memorial Day together. This year, Kate and Bree descend on the seaside town where their sister, Shelby lives a week early. Kate is having a marital crisis, and Bree is facing financial and relationship troubles. Shelby is hiding a secret of her own, which gets revealed during a police investigation. The characters are true-to-life, and likeable, and the plot moves swiftly along.

An interesting mix of family drama, women's fiction and mystery/suspense. Infidelity is a large part of this novel and that isn't my favorite theme for a book.

Set throughout Memorial Day Weekend, this book intertwines the tale of three sisters each going through individual struggles. One is having a romance with a married man, one is struggling with a divorce, and one is out of cash… again.

As the sisters head to the beach to bolster their moods, they learn to lean on one another to help each other out of their tough spots.

My Thoughts: Wendy Francis writes such cozy beach reads and this one is no exception. It was a fun story that kept me entertained while reading!

Three sisters. Shelby, Kate and Bree. One beach house and a summer that seems to bring them closer to one another. The story covers a variety of drama events in each of the sister’s own lives. They are all in various stages of life and experiencing a change or difficult time. They have their own perspective on life and what each other should be doing. I really enjoyed how the story unfolded and we got to see how the dynamics of the sisters was. This book is full of family drama, gossip and family bonding/healing. The audiobook is narrated by Kimberly M. Wetherell. She did a great job covering the sisters and telling their various perspectives. It was a great summer beach read. Many thanks to Brilliance Publishing and NetGalley for the digital review copy of this novel. All opinions expressed in this review are my own.
