About this ebook
When a DNA test reveals long-buried secrets, three generations of women reunite on Cape Cod for the homecoming of a lifetime.
Marin Bishop has always played by the rules, and it's paid off: at twenty-eight she has a handsome fiancée, a prestigious Manhattan legal career, and the hard-won admiration of her father. But one moment of weakness leaves Marin unemployed and alone, all in a single day. Then a woman claiming to be Marin's half-sister shows up, and it's all Marin can do not to break down completely. Seeking escape, Marin agrees to a road trip to meet the grandmother she never knew she had. As the summer unfolds at her grandmother's quaint beachside B&B, it becomes clear that the truth of her half-sister is just the beginning of revelations that will change Marin's life forever. The Forever Summer is a delicious page-turner and a provocative exploration of what happens when our notions of love, truth, and family are put to the ultimate test.
Full of delicious descriptions of coastal New England and richly imagined characters, The Forever Summer is an emotional, hot-topic page-turner and a summer must-read

I read a lot and this book was awful! The wife cheats, the husband cheats, the daughter cheats, the grandmother cheats! That is the book in a nutshell! The characters were not interesting, not compelling, and SO annoying and self-involved. What a group of selfish and entitled whining brats, suffering through drama of their own making, with no regard for other people's feelings. There was not one really lovable character in the group.

The Forever Summer by Jamie Brenner was the perfect read for a lazy day lounging at the beach or by the pool. Character development was great and the descriptions of the town were perfect. This was a very diverse story and something I probably wouldn’t have picked up if I had known from the beginning, but the author did such an amazing job with the plot I could not help but be swept away into the story. There is something for everyone in the pages of this book – from family secrets to love and loss of love, but in the end it’s a very powerful story that is sure to stay with the reader long after the last page is read.
