A great summer read! I didn't realize that it was part of a trilogy but that didn't lessen my enjoyment of the book. The back story was easy to pick up, as the author did a good job of catching you up on events without getting too bogged down in them. I also liked the way the local environment was as much a character in the book as the people were. Seriously makes me want to have a house on the beach, even though I know how much work they are!

Usually, middle books (2&3) of a series are just chalked full of boring details and little storyline. Not the case with The Summer Girls series by Mary Alice Monroe. Originally the last book in the series, Book 3, The Summer's End, is a wonderful story of strong women. This book had everything necessary for a good summer read. Can't wait to read book 4, A Lowcountry Wedding!

As with all of her books, I really enjoyed this one, however I think it would have been better with less scenes with Carson. Honestly, I can't stand her, she is so whiney and bitchy to her sisters.

The final book of Monroe's Lowcountry Summer Trilogy fills in the remainder of the story of the three Muir half sisters as summer comes to the end. All of the girls living at Sea Breeze have life-changing decisions to make as summer comes to a close. Harper finds her purpose, Dora looks ahead, Carson accepts herself, and Mamaw finds life again in this well-written, plot-packed conclusion to their stories. The author does a great job of rounding out the series and tying up loose ends of seemingly real life characters you have cared for since book one. Again, this is a wonderful beach read and series that I recommend all of the time! I definitely recommend reading the first two books of the series before this book. The characters and the setting are easy to fall in love with, making you wish that you lived in Sea Breeze too.

I bought this book at the train station because i didn't have anything to pass the time. And after 5 hours journey, i never put it down! I finish it and run to the bookstore to buy the second and the third.

I think I read book 1 of this series, and skipped book 2, but either way, book 3 holds up as a stand alone.
