### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    This is another terrific book by Robyn Carr.  It’s difficult to read without totally immersing yourself in the story.
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2017*

The Berkey women are a mess.  Charley is a 44 year old talk show host who has just lost her job and whose significant other of 22 years and the father of her child has just proposed.  Charley’s sister Meg has breast cancer but wants to spend the summer at their family lake house, a place no one has visited for decades. Charley has to ask her estranged mother Lou if the girls can use it for the summer.Dysfunction is a key word with almost every character in this book.  Hope lives in a false world,Krista has been in prison for 23 years, Lou and her sister Jo haven’t communicated in eons, even though they were inseparable until the summer that caused their world to spin out of control.  There is a mystery attached to the lake house and whatever caused the rift between Jo and Lou; and this might just be a way to solve the age old questions and pull the women together.

    Dysfunctional Family
  

*by N***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2019*

This is the first book that I've read by Robyn Carr.  In the beginning I was concerned that it would turn out to be a soppy romance with cardboard characters, but I was wrong.  It is about a dysfunctional family of three generations although we learn about some characters and events primarily through memories and discussions of the past.  The book is narrated by eight family members.  That works well and the changes flowed seamlessly at least for me.We learn in the beginning that two sisters had married two brothers and that the sisters Jo and Lou spent the summers at the family lake house with their daughters (three each) decades ago.  However an accidental drowning triggered emotional turmoil and split the family apart.In the current time, one of the girls, now grown up, has metastatic breast cancer and tries to reunite the family at the lake house.  I felt like I really got to know each of the eight main characters.  There is a twist, but I guessed it long before it was revealed.  Nonetheless it didn't spoil the book for me.I'll read more of Robyn Carr's books.

    Absolutely wonderful family saga
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2019*

I mostly listened to this book, and as usual Ms Plummer did an outstanding job. This is a family saga that keeps a person riveted throughout. The story concentrates on two sisters, Louise and Josephine, and their 5 daughters. Years before the start of the book, they used to holiday together every summer at a family owned house on the lake. The last summer they'd been there (over 30 years before) had resulted in a number of things going wrong and Lou and Jo ended up feuding and not having much of a relationship after that. One of Lou's daughters, Megan, has end stage cancer and decides she wants to get everyone up to the lake house for one last summer together. It seems fairly impossible that everyone would be able to make it or care to make it. The reader becomes enmeshed in all of these characters lives and wanting desperately for everything to work out. I loved all of the characters and each of the woman have interesting background stories. Get the tissues ready.
