Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an advance e-galley; all opinions in my review are 100% my own.

A very sweet story about the friendship between Milly and Nicole. They had been friends since childhood but Nicole went on to become a famous actress and withdrew from the friendship. This book brought in a Mother, Grandmother and daughter and how they all loved each other. Also there is an ex and some new boyfriends. I really enjoyed this book and practically read it all in a day.

“Other People’s Summer” is by Sarah Morgan. I think I’d call this book a romance one (general genre), but it deals more with families - birth and chosen. Raven and Milly were close as kids, with Raven even putting her number into Milly’s phone as “sister.” While they were close for a long time, Milly’s divorce somehow ended up putting a wedge between the two women. Eighteen months later, Raven calls Milly begging for help as a world-wide scandal is playing out in the press. I found this book to be a difficult one for me to get into. The Lake District of England is beautifully described - hills, wooded areas, lots of hiking. I found one of the characters - Peggy - to be a hoot and a half. I didn’t really like all the comments about calories and eating healthy (while technically sugar, I will wholeheartedly support my local organic honey companies). I didn’t feel like I knew two of the characters well enough to get an opinion about them. Overall, this was an easy read with family and friends being the central theme.

Other People's Summers by Sarah Morgan is a sweet story about friendship and second chances. Milly and Nicole were best friends growing up, but as time goes on, they drift apart. Nicole, now a movie star, needs a break from her hectic life and stays with Milly at her cottage. As they reconnect, Milly struggles to move past old wounds while Nicole is dealing with the pressure of fame.

The friendship between the two women is at the heart of the story, and watching them rebuild their bond is touching. However, one thing that bothered me was the constant focus on body image and eating. It came up a lot throughout the book, and while I understand it’s part of their journeys, it started to feel a little repetitive and took away from the other parts of the story.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Canary Street Press for the opportunity to read Other People's Summers.
