Helpful Score: 3
In typical Marcia Willett style, the characters in The Summer House quickly become friends we love visiting. Milo and Lottie are the older, wiser and totally approachable members of the family. They are an excellent support system, offering advice, love and encouragement. Lottie's ability to see more than is readily visible to others adds a bit of mysticism to the plot. I enjoyed Matt's journey to find the truth, and Im's coming to terms with the path her life took. And the spunky, outspoken Venetia is a wonderful spark in the story. The ending of the book makes me hope we will see a sequel. I would love to have another chance to spend time with these people, and see what new adventures they encounter.
