An advance copy was sent to me by the publisher,probably from a contest I clicked on Facebook. Anything with the word summer or beach in the title-and I'm on it! This was a great story about two girls who ended up sisters when their parents wed, and the story of their parents and grandparents goes way back. It was confusing a bit,because it did keep going back and forth from 30's through the 60's to the 70's. But there was so much history of the families of Winthrop Island, and how the locals and the summer folks didn't mix-or did they? I loved all the characters and rooted for the underdogs all the way through!
