Rreth këtij libri elektronik
This novel by the author of Our New Normal “will evoke both tears and laughter while leaving readers contemplating the unbreakable bonds of friendship” (Booklist).
Since the age of twelve, McKenzie Arnold has spent every summer at Albany Beach, Delaware, with her best friends Aurora, Janine, and Lilly. The seaside house teems with thirty years of memories—some wonderful, others painful—and secrets never divulged beyond its walls. This summer may be the last they spend together, as Janine contemplates selling her family cottage.
For now, all four enjoy morning beach walks and lazy evenings on the porch, celebrating Lilly's longed-for pregnancy and offering support during McKenzie's greatest crisis. It's a time for laughter and recriminations, a time to forge a new understanding of a long-ago night when Aurora sealed their bond with one devastating act. And as the days gradually shorten, events will unfold in ways they couldn't have predicted, to make this the most momentous summer of all.
In a deeply moving novel filled with heartbreak and warmth, Colleen Faulkner explores the complex ties between four very different women as they move through life together, and apart.

“Be prepared to weep tears of sorrow as well as tears of joy. This is a novel you won't soon forget.” —Holly Chamberlin, author of Last Summer
“So real, so honest . . . I laughed, I hoped, I cried. It's that good.” —Cathy Lamb, author of Henry's Sisters
