A-Hundred-SummersA Hundred Summers by Beatriz Williams
Lily Dane has returned to Seaview, Rhode Island, where her family has summered for generations. It’s an escape not only from New York’s social scene but from a heartbreak that still haunts her. Here, among the seaside community that has embraced her since childhood, she finds comfort in the familiar rituals of summer.

But this summer is different. Budgie and Nick Greenwald – Lily’s former best friend and former fiancé – have arrived, too, and Seaview’s elite are abuzz. Under Budgie’s glamorous influence, Lily is seduced into a complicated web of renewed friendship and dangerous longing.

As a cataclysmic hurricane churns north through the Atlantic, and uneasy secrets slowly reveal themselves, Lily and Nick must confront an emotional storm that will change their world’s forever…

Reviews
“Romance and drama, past (1931) and present (1938)  intertwoven within the build-up of the Great Hurricane of 1938.  This is the perfect summer vacation read! ” – Review by Shirley

“I enjoyed this book, I found it to be a great beach read.  The storyline contained some drama, some romance and a little humour.  It was engaging, though not too heavy.  I would recommend this book for your next trip to the beach.” – Review by Shelley
