A great beach read that is so much more than a quick romance (although of course there is romance!). I appreciate that the story explores different generations within a family and their experiences. I especially loved the relationship between Lily and Cecilia. The imagery of the Cape was beautiful, and the story gently explored tragedy and loss. I am grateful to NetGalley for the advance read of this book!

I absolutely loved this book. It grabbed me from the start and I didn’t want to put it down. The story of the life of three women in different stages of their life. They all end up on Cape Cod to find their happiness. A great read.

100% Recommend this book! Just when I think that it isn't possible for another homerun from Sarah Morgan, she goes and does it again! I felt transported to the Cape in this read about familial discord amidst the death of the family patriarch, Cameron, and the secrets that he kept that were discovered by his wife, Cecilia, after his death. You learn about the family dynamics of Cameron and Ceclia's children in this novel, especially the relationship between Cecilia and her daughter Kristen, and you watch their relationship go through different phases throughout the novel, as Kristen navigates her own marriage. You also meet Lily, and Todd, along with Seth and others, and each and everyone is just as wonderful as the last. You won't regret grabbing a copy when this hits shelves!
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC!

Morgan’ writing is simply magical. I felt this story in my soul. I will remember it forever. One day, when enough time has passed for the story to be fresh again, I know I will come back and read it all over again to experience this book’s magic again.

I loved this book. It was heartfelt and romantic. I loved how it talked about different members of the family. The ending was better than what I expected. I'm grateful that netgalley and the publishers let me read this in exchange for an honest review.

I finished reading The Summer Swap very early this morning and I am quite sure it will be one of my top 2024 release reads. This was another amazing story by Sarah Morgan.
An escape to the beach book tells the story of how three generations of women find themselves after insecurities and unfaithfulness have taken away their beliefs in themselves.
I highly recommend this book - another five star story from Sarah Morgan.
Thank you to #NetGalley and #Harlequin for giving me the chance to advance read The Summer Swap.

Years apart, two women connect and become friends of a sort. Disappointed and family go together in this novel. This talented author has written a cannot put down story. The ocean…the cottage…the characters…a recipe for change…even the title is intriguing. I really liked this book. Curl up in a comfy chair…be transported for an afternoon. Follow these two women who have much in common despite their ages. Enjoy. I hope there are more from this author. Thanks Netgalley.

In The Summer Swap by Sarah Morgan, Cecilia Lapthorne unexpectedly returns to Dune Cottage on Cape Cod, confronting memories of her past, both good and secret. The cottage becomes an unexpected refuge for Lily, an aspiring artist with her own disappointments. As they navigate an unlikely friendship, Cecilia's grandson Todd enters the scene, creating ripples of change. The author writes of rediscovery and courage, offering both Cecilia and Lily the opportunity to exchange old dreams for new ones in the changing tides of a transformative summer.
