Description
Author Roma Brooks invites you to escape to Cape Harriet, a charming seaside town on Virginia's Eastern Shore.
All Mary Bloom ever wanted was to celebrate her 60th birthday at the beach. The extended Bloom family converges at the Rising Tides Inn, where their slightest whim is catered to.
Forty something Iris is the perfect suburban mom, holding her four kids and husband on a tight leash. 36 year old Hyacinth is single, successful and the self-proclaimed brains of the family. At 26, Poppy is a top travel blogger, wandering across countries most people only dream of visiting.
The rivalry among the sisters is as strong as ever, and each sister is dealing with it in her own way. So while Iris taunts and needles, Hyacinth takes the high road and shows disdain. Poppy suffers silently, lost in her own inner turmoil. None of them has an inkling of the storm that is about to break loose in their lives.
Soft shell crabs and salt marshes will be forgotten as shocking secrets are revealed. Everyone seems to be guilty of hiding something.
Set in idyllic Cape Harriet, Wicked Summer takes the reader on a thrilling roller coaster ride with plenty of laughs, tears and intrigue with heart warming moments, scrumptious food and never a dull moment.

I enjoyed this story about 3 very different sister's who come together to celebrate thier mother's birthday. There's alot going on and it kept my interest throughout. Do not attempt to read this book when you are hungry-far too much food happening in this book but the location sounded beautiful.

This story of three sisters getting together to celebrate their mother's 60th birthday is a wonderful read. I picked this title because it's set on the Eastern Shore of Va. Which is one of my favorite places. There are secrets revealed, resentments exposed and a love story explained. I enjoyed the girls and their completely different personality types. The food sounded great, I wish there were a few recipes.
Jennifer C, Reviewer
Roma Brooks did a great job with this book. Wicked Summer is such a feel good novel. I love how different each sister is but how they come together. Everyone grows during the book as the secrets start coming out. I laughed and cried. I came away feeling so good about life.
