The Second Home by Christina Clancy
5.0
A huge thank you to Christina Clancy, NetGalley and St Martins Press for the advanced readers copy! The following thoughts are my opinions alone.
Do you ever feel as though something is always pulling you to a certain place? Maybe a vacation home or a parents/grandparents home? Certain places have always held memories for me and particular ones are just so welcoming and make you remember what’s truly important in this crazy life we live. This novel brought those feelings back to me.
It centers on three kids, Michael, Ann and Poppy and then living in the cold north and spending their summers on the cape In a very appropriate cape style home. One summer gives way to a lot of regrets and chasing that “feeling” for many years after. The memories of that cape home are all that Michael can think of and want. Sadly, life has happened and a lot of pain.
The feelings of the beach and happiness are things I associate within my family. We don’t have a vacation home but, whenever things get rough and hard and we need to come together, we head to the beach. Even if it’s just for the day, it’s that place where our memories are maintained and happiness floats back in.
I really enjoyed this novel and it’s the authors FIRST one!! A huge kuddos to you Christina!! Brilliant story and I love the way you wrote it, different perspectives and even going back and forth in time, that’s how the characters were built and how you made them more understandable. It was a good read and I love the way it ended!
