The Summer of Us -- Holly Chamberlin

<p>The little beach house on Martha's Vineyard has a rickety porch and no closets, but the gorgeous location is unbeatable--and more than enough to entice three total strangers into a house share for the summer. . .<br /><br />At first, the only thing Gincy, Danielle, and Clare have in common is a desire to spend weekends away from the city. No-nonsense Gincy has worked hard to leave her small-town childhood behind. Danielle grew up with every advantage and is looking for a husband who'll fit neatly into her pampered life, while Clare is enjoying a last burst of independence before marrying her ambitious fianc . Yet lazy beach days and warm, conversation-filled nights forge an unexpected connection. And over the course of one eventful summer, Gincy, Danielle, and Clare will discover that friendship isn't always measured in how well you know a person's past--but in opening each other's eyes to everything the future could hold. . .<br /><br />"Nostalgia over real-life friendships lost and regained pulls readers into the story." -<em>USA Today</em> on <em>Summer Friends</em><br /><br />"It does the trick as a beach book and provides a touristy taste of Maine's seasonal attractions." --<em>Publishers Weekly</em> on <em>The Family Beach House</em></p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Holly Chamberlin<br><b>Publisher:</b> Kensington Publishing Corporation<br><b>Published:</b> 05/01/2011<br><b>Pages:</b> 434<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.85lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.20h x 5
