I enjoyed the dual timelines from the 70s and 90s. I love music so this hit the right note there. However, overall I wasn’t able to deeply connect to the characters. ( ) Everything about this book is addicting. From the sun-soaked days at the beach, to the disappearance that unfolds, to the complete 70's free-vibe... I found myself not wanting to put it down. I might have closed my eyes at one point and just envisioned being there. I think this book would make a fabulous movie if I'm being honest! 3.5 Love the title and cover. My hope was this would be a lighter but not sappy read. Needed a little sunshine in my life. For the most part it met and in parts exceeded my expectations. A nostalgic read as well, taking me back to summers spent with my cousins. For Jackie, it would be a different summer, a time so unlike her life with her father and recent step mother. Time spent with her cousin Willa and her uncle, a musician if past came who was now living on this compound, trying to bring his music back. Days spent hiking, camping, swimming, meeting people, bonfires at night. Yet, behind this idyllic facade there is a darkness and summers end would bring tragedy. Years later, Jackie is left to try to come to terms and finds answers to the questions left from that time. Once again music will flow, albeit with a different set of people. Loved all the music mentioned in this, the subtle mystery and a reminder of a time gone by. Read with Angela and Esil. Good discussions as always. ARC from Edelweiss. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML:"A delicious daydream of a book." â??Elin Hilderbrand, New York Times bestselling author of 28 Summers "With lyrical writing and a page-turning plot, this sun-dappled book has it all: heart, smarts, and an irresistible musical beat." â??Karen Dukess, author of The Last Book Party ONE ICONIC FAMILY. ONE SUMMER OF SECRETS. THE DAZZLING SPIRIT OF 1970S CALIFORNIA. For Jackie Pierce, everything changed the summer of 1979, when she spent three months of infinite freedom at her bohemian uncle's sprawling estate on the California coast. As musicians, artists, and free spirits gathered at The Sandcastle for the season in pursuit of inspiration and communal living, Jackie and her cousin Willa fell into a fast friendship, testing their limits along the rocky beach and in the wild woods... until the summer abruptly ended in tragedy, and Willa silently slipped away into the night. Twenty years later, Jackie unexpectedly inherits The Sandcastle and returns to the iconic estate for a short visit to ready it for sale. But she reluctantly extends her stay when she learns that, before her death, her estranged aunt had promised an up-and-coming producer he could record a tribute album to her late uncle at the property's studio. As her musical guests bring the place to life again with their sun-drenched beach days and late-night bonfires, Jackie begins to notice startling parallels to that summer long ago. And when a piece of the past resurfaces and sparks new questions about Willa's disappearance, Jackie must discover if the dark secret she's kept ever since is even the truth at all. "An engrossing tale of secrets, memory, music, and the people and places you can never outrun. A fantastic summer read." â??Laura Dave, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Thing He Told Me "This book is gorgeous. A gold-drenched, nostalgic dream with a fierce female friendship at its heart." â??Marisa de los Santos, New York Times bestselling author of I'll Be Your Blue S No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
