I absolutely adored this book and the vibe that it gave. It going over sensitive/heavy topics such as grief was done amazingly. This book has now become one of my favorites from this year so far!

Sweet story, slow plot.

While this was a sweet story, it was just that- sweet. I thought there was little depth and the plot was slow. Also, I found the characters to be a bit cliché and lacking depth- especially Lily. With that said, I don’t think this is a bad book if you’re looking for a fluffy palate cleanser. Just know that the characters and plot line are going to be predictable.

I was able to read an e-ARC of this novel courtesy of The Hive. I was excited for the chance to read this one, because I absolutely loved The Book Club Hotel. The Summer Swap does not disappoint! A lovely story of three women's journeys to new beginnings, second chances, and finding happiness. This will make a great feel-good summer read!

What a joy! This was the perfect read for spring/summer time. I loved the characters and the journey they were on.

Ironically, as a New England Native, I read this book on vacation in FL. I loved the location of Cape Cod, and the change in Sarah Morgan’s scenery from winter to summer! The different POVs were a little confusing at times, though it did all come together. Though not as light as I hoped, this novel tied in family woes, friends, and love over many years. Would recommend!

I just finished reading “The Summer Swap” by Sarah Morgan. I love the characters in this book and the journey they were on. It was a cute book and I didn’t want it to end. I hope there will be more stories about these women in the future!

3.75 stars!

This was a solid summer read-it’s told in 3 POV’s of different women all going through challenges in their current stage of life. I am always a sucker for a Cape Cod setting with beautiful lavish beach homes. The little pinch of mystery was a fun touch as well! Friends to lovers is a top trope for me, and it was done well.

The story seemed rushed at times, and the timeline seemed off it felt like weeks were going by when it was only days. Overall very solid beautiful story!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC!

Many thanks to NetGalley and the Publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this book. It's told from the POV of 3 different women, all going through challenges in their lives. I was invested in the storylines and appreciated the little mystery thrown in there. My only complaint was how fast the love story progressed. It was like 0-60 and a bit awkward. Other than that, certainly a great read to take on vacation!

Imagine a book with a beach setting, and you've already captured my heart, just like The Summer Swap by Sarah Morgan. This is a tale that weaves between three women: Cecilia, Lily, and Kristen. Each of them is at a pivotal point in their lives, grappling with transitions and the need to redefine themselves. Cecilia, a recent widow, is navigating the void left by her husband's passing. Lily, a recent medical school dropout, is at a crossroads in her career and personal life. Kristen, feeling isolated as the wife of a prominent surgeon, is contemplating an affair. All three find themselves in Cape Cod, where they unravel mysteries and make life-altering decisions.

I loved Cecilia and Lily’s stories, primarily, especially when those stories coincided early in the story. The relationship between the two women warmed my heart and made me happy. They are two like souls, and meeting each other pushes them into the next part of their lives with the love and support they have been lacking. Kristen’s story irritated me mostly because adultery is a small trigger for me, which made me unable to find sympathy for the character.

One of the highlights of the book is the relationship between Lily and Todd. Their journey from friends to lovers, a romance trope I typically find less appealing, is portrayed with such authenticity and depth that it became a favorite aspect of the story for me. Similarly, Kristen's relationship with her husband, which starts off on shaky ground, evolves in a way that feels genuine and relatable for their stage in life.

The Summer Swap is the perfect feel-good read for the warmer seasons.

I devoured The Summer Swap. This is a warm story set on the dunes of the outermost Cape Cod and will leave you daydreaming of warm summer breezes and toes in the sand.

I really enjoyed the characters and though they all had equally interesting story lines, that flowed together naturally. It had elements of grief, family drama, romance, and determination. I honestly wanted to be Lily's best friend. She was my favorite character and I loved watching her dreams realized.

My only complaint is that it felt like some of the story lines jumped from one point to the next. It seemed like the storyline would move ahead by weeks, when it was only days, so some of the timelines felt a little unrealistic, but it didn't take away from the story.

The Summer Swap is one to add to your reading list for this summer!
Thank you, Harlequin Trade Publishing, Canary Street Press, and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.

“The Summer Swap” is a multigenerational story based in Boston & the Cape. It is an easy read that has you cheering on all the characters as they revolve on their journeys of self discovery. Sarah Morgan’s descriptive writing style has you visualizing the scenes to the point you can smell the salt air & the butter of the lobster rolls. This is a must for your beach bag this summer. Thank you to Net Galley

This was a sweet story about lost love, bad decisions, and, eventually, making things right! I loved all of the storylines and especially loved the romance between Lily and Todd. The author describes the beach cottage in a way that I could almost see it, and I know I’d love to visit!

This was my first read by this author and it won’t be my last! I’d been wanting to read something by her since I’d previously seen a different book floating around. The writing style was immediately captivating and I just loved the characters.

Cecilia escapes from her problems, family and her seventieth birthday party by heading to Dune Cottage on Cape Cod. Upon arrival she discovers Lily, hired caretaker of the cottage, who is currently actually living in the cottage. The two remain in the cottage and become close as the summer passes. Eventually Cecilia's grandson, Todd, arrives to check on her and also ends up staying. Kristen, Cecilia's daughter and Todd's mother, also ends up at the cottage after martial problems of her own. Relationships begin, start back up again after many years and continue throughout the story. Does it all work out for all the couples in the end? You'll have to read this delightful story yourself to find out the answers.

I originally thought this would be a sweet summer story but it was so much more than that. I didn’t expect it to elicit so many feelings but I enjoyed it a lot. I would check tw for sensitive topics because it may be heavy for some!

Loved this sweet summer story! Full of hope and lovable characters, a must read for summer! I will be suggesting this one for my friends summer buddy reading!

Such a fun summer read! I love Sarah Morgan’s books & this one was no different. A quick easy read with very lovable characters. I am a sucker for dual POVs & that aspect definitely added to this story. I was pleasantly surprised by the depth in this summer read, as many are fluffy. So glad to see one of my favorite Christmas authors take on a summer book & do it so well!

Thank you NetGalley & Harlequin Trade Publishing for the ARC copy of this book.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book, but I was pleasantly surprised and ended up really enjoying it. The story of Lily, Cecilia, and Kristin, and how their lives are woven together. Love, loss, friendship, and new beginnings. The story was beautiful and kept me wanting to read more. 4.5/5 stars (rounded up to 5 for this review).

I love Sarah Morgan’s Christmas books, so I was excited to read a summer one from her. It did not disappoint. She has a way of getting you to connect with the characters. I loved reading the different points of view from the three women and their struggles. I would highly recommend this book.

This was a great book. It was a quick and easy read. There is lots of secrets. Three different relationships in three different stages and a rekindled romance.
