@maddies.reads Book Review ✨ ✨My Summer Getaway by Susan Mallery I know we all thought that Every Summer After was THE BOOK of the summer…. BUT, I think I just found the other book of the summer ☀️ Packed full of family drama, heartbreak, coming of age, loss, love and so much more, this book is phenomenal. There was just enough spice, character depth, beachy vibes, & relatable characters. I am blown away! How haven’t I heard anything about this book!? I was having a bad day last month and walked my butt into target to #TreatMyShelves and picked up this without hearing a single thing about it and I am so glad I did. Easily one of the best books I have read this year!! It is only July, so if you are still in need of a summer read, HERE YOU GO. Please do yourself a favor and grab this one. I haven’t binged a romance/contemporary fiction that fast since Evelyn Hugo. Love, love, LOVED this book. 5 ⭐️ Susan Mallery is a new to me author. If you have read some of her books, please give me some recommendations!

Book Synopsis
One woman discovers the beauty in chaos in this poignant and heartwarming story about the threads that hold family together from #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery. With her divorce settlement about to run out and a mortgage she can't afford, Robyn Caldwell needs a plan for her future. She nurtured her family and neglected herself. But how's she supposed to think when her daughter has become the most demanding bride ever, her son won't even consider college, her best friend is on the brink of marital disaster and her ex is making a monumentally bad decision that could bring everything crashing down on Robyn's head? So when her great-aunt Lillian invites her to Santa Barbara for the summer, Robyn hops on the first plane. But it's hard to run away when you're the heart of the family. One by one, everyone she left behind follows her across the country. Somehow, their baggage doesn't feel as heavy in the sun-drenched, mishmash mansion. The more time Robyn spends with free-spirited Lillian, the more she sees the appeal in taking chances--on dreams, on love, on family. Life is meant to be lived on purpose. All she has to do is muster the courage to take a chance on herself.Review Quotes
