"Set over one summer in the charming seaside resort of Cape May, New Jersey, amid the planning of a lavish wedding three longtime friends find that past secrets, new loves, and hard choices test their bond like never before."

This book had everything I could've wished for in a book, although it didn't deliver how I'd hoped. A Jersey girl through and through, I will truly read just about anything if it takes place within this state, especially if it takes place somewhere I frequent often. This book had very sweet moments between friends, but their fall out and make-ups felt rushed and unrealistic. I also feel like the second half of the book was rushed just to fit in the wedding and anything that came after that in the timeline.

This would be a perfect beach read if you want something quick and breezy to read that leaves you feeling warm inside!

This is the first time I have read this author and I really loved this book. The three friends, Lu, Kenya and Natalia really shared a love for Cape May. and they have a great friendship. Each moved to the historical area for their own reason. Lu, was running a B&B and planning a wedding and heard from her dying father that she didn't know. It is a great part of the story. Kenya loved living their to get away from the city everyday. She is a lawyer. Natalia ran a winery and faced some problems of her own. A GREAT READ..

I'm so glad Netgalley provided me an ARC of SUMMER ON CAPE MAY by Monica Garner. Being a Jersey girl, I thoroughly enjoyed this story of a group of successful Black women living on the Jersey shore.

Ms. Garner not only did a wonderful job showing the intricacies of female friendships, but she even added a bit of suspense to the story. Nice work!

Thank you for the opportunity to read this one. A new to me author and I'm excited to see what she comes out with next. A fun beach read.

I loved this book. 3 chosen sisters who had each other's backs. Then life happened. All I can say is this is an amazing book. Read it now. I received an advanced reader copy of this book from NetGalley and this is my honest review.

I loved the story and the characters. I grew up in south Jersey, so the location was dreamy to me. I'd love to live in Cape May. The characters were smart, strong, human women with great friendships and connections with family - blood and chosen. However, the language and word choice was odd to bad in places. Gideon's inhibitions? Where were those? That's not the right word. Also, so many adjectives that I thought they were getting paid per word. But all in all, I like the book. I'd actually read more about these women. Thanks for the chance to read a book I would have otherwise missed.

I enjoyed this book. I finished it in one afternoon it was too good to put down.
I especially loved the cover and in all honesty it was what drew me to read it. It didn't disappoint.
Also a new author to me that did well to draw me in from the beginning.
The characters were wonderful and the storyline made me feel like I was actually there.
5 stars from.me for an excellent read. I recommend it.
Thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine.
