Maine by J. Courtney Sullivan
(*Amazon Affiliate link)
Summary: Four Kelleher women gather their families at their summer beach house in Maine, each bringing their own secrets and issues.
Genre: Domestic fiction
First Sentence:
Alice decided to take a break from packing. She lit a cigarette, leaning back in one of the wicker chairs that were always slightly damp from the sea breeze.
Discussion:
Already I wonder why she’s packing up the summer home before anyone else arrives.
Although this looks like a summertime beach read, it also might be a great way to escape from the February blah weather.
