A quick, easy read with very lovable characters. I enjoy dual POVs, and that aspect definitely added to this story. I was pleasantly surprised by the depth in this summer read, as many are typically fluffy.

Sweet read! Lovely tale of grief, forgiveness, love, friendship, and family connection. Loved getting to know the characters and the setting has me wanting to take a trip to Cape Cod. Perfect summer happy reading! Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing | Canary Street Press for the ARC in exchange for my review.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ebook copy. This was my second experience with a Sarah Morgan novel, and I thoroughly enjoyed "Summer Swap." The book captured the delightful, feel-good essence of a Hallmark movie, perfectly encapsulating the warmth of summer. The characters were endearing and relatable, often making me feel as though I were part of their storyline. I especially appreciated how the story concluded but wanted there to be a sequel.

Summer Swap is Sarah Morgan’s newest summer read and does not disappoint. Her family stories hook me every time and I never want them to end. Don’t miss this out on reading this book and can’t wait to read her next book. Bravo Sarah🙋‍♀️🙏❤️🇨🇦📚👏🥰

I’m a huge fan of Sarah’s Christmas books so this summer moment was refreshing! I’m a sucker for a multi POV, it just makes the story more in depth & this was fantastic.

After loving The Book Club Hotel, I couldn’t wait to read more from Sarah Morgan. A second chance romance, a beautiful summer setting, I really loved this novel. Thank you NetGalley and Harlequinn.

This book was such a breathe of fresh air in the summer at Cape Cod but at the same time it talks about heavy topics that most people don’t really talk about.

The friendship between Cecilia and Lily was so amazing even though they were so apart in age was so amazing. The way their friendship grew warms my heart.

Lily and Todd??? Such a cute hallmark second chance meeting.

Loved this book

This was an enjoyable summer read by Sarah Morgan. It's the story of three women all at different stages in life and all with troubles of their own. Their lives converge one summer at Dune Cottage and will never be the same again. A perfect beach read! Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

This book was so fun for a summer read! It has many of my favorite things in a book: romance (with some added family drama), multiple POVs, and the super scenic setting of beautiful Cape Cod!

This story follows three different women who are all interconnected with family, marriage, and healing. It has characters with varying age groups, clean romance, and a captivating story.

Note that the book does touch on some heavy topics, so be sure to do your research for potential triggers. Despite the heavy topics, it does have a lot of lighthearted and fun parts to it as well.

Overall I really enjoyed this one! I think that no matter your age, you'll be able to find something relatable or enjoyable about this book. The message behind it is so fun as well - finding the courage to let your own happiness take the lead and do what you love, no matter the stage you are at in life.

I’m between stars on this one but that’s because I enjoyed the book more as it went on. At the beginning I felt like there was a lot of talk about bad marriages and the death of Cecelia’s husband/ Kristen’s father. So, for me, I found the beginning kind of sad. But as the book went on, the characters started to find happiness in their lives again and the ending was super happy.

Three women are at a turning point: Cecelia is a widow who is having issues going along with the perfect image of her husband, Kristen is deciding what to do about her marriage after feeling let down by the lack of support from her husband when her father died, and Lily has left medical school to pursue her actual love which is art.

Cecelia leaves “her birthday party” which is more like a celebration of her dead husband’s art career. She runs to their home on the Cape. No one knows about the home because Cecelia thought he sold it decades ago.

Lily is already living in the abandoned cottage. She’s been working as a cleaning lady to save money to pursue her art career. And no one has been in the cottage in decades.

But of course Cecelia shows up at the cottage unannounced while Lily is there.

Cecelia invites Lily to stay and the two help each other find their way again.

Lily also has a tie to Cecelia’s family through her grandchildren, one of which is Lily’s estranged best friend and one her longtime crush.

It took a little while at the beach but I felt everyone got a lovely ending to their story.

I got to read an early ebook edition from NetGalley . Thank you!

Hallmark vibes. This is my second book from Sarah Morgan and I just love how cozy her writing is. A good plot with multiple ages represented. Based on The Cape which just adds to the hallmark vibes!

Sarah Morgan really knows how to make typical life problems into something that we care about. A husband that’s too busy, coming back from infidelity, choosing a career that’s fulfilling, etc. I was rooting for all of her characters, even the ones that were supposed to be unlikeable.

The ending was great, and there were even a few unseen twists in there! I adore the covers of her books, and this one is no exception. A wonderful summer read for people who identify as women. Romance isn’t the main plot, but it’s in there which I look forward to in her books.

Sarah Morgan’s books remind me that I love being a woman and all the things that come with it. The good, the bad, and the ugly.

Thank you NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for this ARC for an honest review.

The Summer Swap is the story of an unlikely trio over a summer in Cape Cod: Cecilia Lapthorne is celebrating her 70th birthday; her grandson Todd is visiting; Lily, who has had a long-time crush on Todd, is cleaning houses on Cape Cod.

I wanted to read this novel because I have enjoyed previous reads by Sarah Morgan, and I enjoy beach reads.

This is a delightful novel! I enjoyed having both an older person and a younger couple represented; all three characters brought a lot to this book. I recommend The Summer Swap for anyone looking for a lovely summer read.

I really enjoyed this book and it I really think this is a really good summer read. It was a breath of fresh air. I really enjoyed the characters in this story and the plot as well.

Thank you NetGalley for this arc.

This book deals with a lot. Romance, grief, healing, marriage, and family. Although it has some weighted topics, this book was also funny and light.

The Summer Swap was a heartwarming read with likeable characters and a story of many real life challenges we face within family and relationships. The setting was beautiful and I enjoyed the found friendships, but overall the book was just okay. I found myself wishing to be closer to the end because it didn’t hold my attention that well. Based on the title and cover you may be expecting something lighthearted and an easy read but please know this book has many lessons in life, and deals with some heavy topics as well such as death of a spouse, affairs, second chance at love, family arguments, and more. There is a lot of depth, so definitely consider that when jumping in if you’re wanting something with a little less angst and heaviness.

The perfect summer read that completely swept me off into another world. I loved this descriptive, light read. It was exactly the summer read i needed to haul me out of a rut. I loved this one and will recommend to all of my romance book loving friends!

Cottage on the Cape brings artistic talent and romance!

Characters - really enjoyed the connection between Lily & Cecilia…it was so tender! The author created great characters in multiple appealing storylines.

Plot - The multi-POV format was very well done to capture each storyline and bundle nicely in the end

Pacing - quick, easy read

What I liked - the beautiful life story and multi-generational romances

What I didn’t like - author does a wonderful job describing things. Wish she would’ve taken the next step with describing the lovely view for the reader experience.

What I loved - selection of her setting/location and the centerpiece of the Dunes Cottage

I would recommend this book for several reasons that captivated my attention (no spoilers)…I couldn’t put this one down!

Thank you to Sarah Morgan, Harlequin Trade Publishing and NetGalley for the ARC opportunity for my honest review.

The most perfect summer read! Set in Cape Cod following three women who are at a low point in their lives. Cecelia is learning to live her life after the death of her famous husband, Lily has quit medical school to pursue her dream of being and artist, and Kirsten is having marital problems. I loved learning about each of these characters as well as seeing how their stories intertwined as they found their happily ever afters.

Not my favorite by Sarah Morgan but still an enjoyable summer women's fiction beach read featuring three different women going through different life upheavals - an older recent widow, her daughter whose surgeon husband never has time for her and the widow's housekeeper who becomes an unexpected guest when she returns to her Cape Cod cottage. The art storyline was fun and the way two of the women turned out to be talented painters was a great connection but overall this was just an okay read that was light on the romance and just didn't really grab my emotions the way her books sometimes can. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital copy in exchange for my honest review! Recommended for fans of authors like Jennifer Weiner or Elin Hilderbrand.

Steam level: closed door/fade to black

A fun summer read! Sarah Morgan writes wonderfully and I love the northeastern coastal vibes her books have. A quick read with relatable characters! Thank you NetGalley for an advance readers copy of this wonderful book!
