Overview

A sun-soaked trip to the Amalfi Coast promises a fresh start—and reveals secrets never imagined in New York Times bestselling author Brenda Novak’s tender new novel.

In the wake of her debut novel’s breakout success—and a very painful public divorce—Charlotte Williams-Jackson has something to prove. With her second novel overdue, she’s scrambling to hold it together. But her focus is rocked when she discovers that her childhood wasn’t as it seemed—and she has a tween half-sister who’s been orphaned in Italy.

Alongside her best friend, Sloane, and Sloane’s charming brother, Julian, Charlotte ventures to the Amalfi Coast to meet her sister. She would never turn her back on family, especially since this girl doesn’t have anyone else, but between her looming deadline and her entire identity being flipped upside down, it’s a lot. Determined to rebuild her life, Charlotte must confront the relationships she’s held dear—and the loss of those she thought she had but didn’t—forcing her to question everything she understood about herself and the bonds that shape a family.

Review

Y’all know I enjoy a good family secret drama!

In the wake of her debut novel’s breakout success—and a very painful public divorce—Charlotte Williams-Jackson has something to prove. But her world is rocked when she discovers that her childhood wasn’t as it seemed—and she has a tween half-sister who’s been orphaned in Italy.

Let me start by saying this setting is amazing. Brenda made me feel like I was right there on the Amalfi Coast!

As I said before, I enjoy family dramas, especially where secrets are involved. And this story has a big one! Charlotte finds out quite a few missing details about her life and that includes a sister she didn’t know she had. Add in her good friend from childhood, Julian, who becomes her love interest and I was hooked!

Now, I was not a big fan of this narrator, Stina Nielsen. She was way too dramatic for me, especially at the beginning. I did get used to her as the story went along.

Need a good story full of great characters and a wonderful setting…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.

I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.
