I love this book because of the sweetness and heartbreak the connected stories capture; all centered around a beloved summer beach house.

The house and the beach it watches over become almost a character, shaping and subtly influencing the intertwined stories of the characters that rent the house over the summer months. I found myself brimming with delight one moment and crying my eyes out the next.

It is a book I love to revisit during the summer, especially while at the beach.
