This was my second novel by Denise Hunter and she’s amazing! In both of her books the characters are relatable and flawed, allowing the reader to connect with the story on a personal level. Pub date 4/22
This was a such beautiful story. It’s packed full of love, grief, family, friendship, forgiveness and even mystery. All of the characters (except Maggie’s mom 😅) are wonderful and so well-written, I couldn’t help connecting with them. The plot is very unique which makes the book even better.
Maggie and Josh’s friendship was so sweet, especially his enduring love for her. I really hoped they would get their “happily ever after”.
The author will take you on an emotional pursuit for answers. Along the way, you will think they have found their answers and another piece of information will change the course of their path. The twists and turns made it impossible to put this book down. I sobbed several times and even gasped out loud more than once.
Highly recommend 💕

Thank you NetGalley for the eaudiobook edition of The Summer of You and Me by Denise Hunter. Below is my personal review about this title.

Maggie is a young widow with a young a child. She’s a kind-hearted, loving individual and she’s ready for love again. I’m sure she wasn’t expecting what happened when love found her, but even when I thought I had it all figured out- the author tossed me a shocking curveball. It was a bit emotional, lighthearted and a fun listen!

The narrator was great for this audiobook and I enjoyed listening to it.

This has such a fascinating premise. What would you do if you saw your husband walking around at an amusement park? That’s all normal, but what if your husband has been dead for five years? And what if you never saw his dead body, because he died in a war, far from home? This is how The Summer of You and Me begins and hang on, because there are quite a few twists!

Huge thank you to NetGalley, Thomas Nelson and Zondervan Fiction Audio for the opportunity to listen to this audiobook!

I was captivated from the beginning and the mystery over the man that Maggie saw at the Carnival that resembled her late husband. It has been five years since she lost her husband. Seeing this young man that resembles her husband sends her on this unraveling of what really happened to him. Josh is her late husband's brother and has been helping Maggie with her five year old daughter Zoey. The way Maggie and Josh dove into the mystery and tried to unravel the clues. I love the twists and turns that came in the story.

The audiobook is narrated by Kim Churchill. She did such a great job voicing this story and the various characters. The tone and emotion was perfect. She really kept the story flowing. She had varying voices for Josh and Maggie and I could follow their various dialogue.

I am a big fan of Denise Hunter. I just finished listening to The Summer of You and Me. I loved it!!!
