About the Book:
Brynn Turner desperately wishes she had it together, but her personal life is like a ping-pong match that’s left her scared and hurt after so many attempts to get it right. In search of a place to lick her wounds and get a fresh start, she heads back home to Wildstone.
And then there’s Kinsey Davis, who after battling serious health issues her entire twenty-nine years of life, is tired of hoping for . . . well, anything. She's fierce, tough, and pretty much the opposite of Brynn except for one thing: they're half-sisters. Kinsey is keeping this bombshell, and a few others as well. Long time frenemies from summer camp, there’s no way she’s going to tell Brynn they’re related.
But then Brynn runs into Kinsey's lifelong best friend, Eli, renewing a childhood crush. He’s still easy-going and funny and sexy as hell. When he gets her to agree to a summer-time deal to trust him to do right by her, no matter what, she never dreams it’ll result in finding a piece of herself she didn’t even know was missing. She could have a sister, love, and a future―if she can only learn to let go of the past.
As the long days of summer wind down, the three of them must discover if forgiveness is enough to grasp the unconditional love that’s right in front of them.

Another
great book in the Wildstone series! I don't think this was my favorite
in the series so far, but I did love it. What I loved about prior
Wildstone books was that you really got a feel for the setting and
coastal vibes of Wildstone--I didn't feel that as much with this one.
Perhaps because of not traveling lately I was needing that in my reading.
What I did love: the fantastic characters! I loved every
single one of them. Brynn, her moms, Eli (dreamy), Max, Deck and even
Kinsey. I especially loved Mini, the dog:) I wanted to be friends with them, I wanted to hang out and have
late night pancakes and games of Cards Against Humanity with them. They
were all so real and likeable. I loved the bonds and relationships
between all of them and how they cared for and looked out for each
other. This was a perfect weekend read because it was so hard to put
down. I got so attached to these characters! Though this is the fifth
book in the Wildstone series, it can definitely be read as a stand
alone--BUT I do highly recommend the entire Wildstone series as well.
This is a perfect read for your beach bag this summer!
