At first, I thought this was another friendly beach read, but I couldn't be more wrong. Don't misunderstand me, this book is perfect for a beach read this summer! There is just so much more packed between the covers than I had anticipated.
Mina, Sam, Kendra and Isabel are four friends who grew up together. When Mina passes away from her fight with cancer, her best friend Sam is beyond distraught. She escapes to Honduras to try and get herself together. But Kendra and Sam decide to join Sam, even though she doesn't believe they should vacation together without Mina.
Soul searching and the bonds of friendship are the anchor in this realistic story full of memorable characters. The journals between Mina and Sam , their life after death experiences, cultural experiences, love and loss are the key notes, but by no means least. When the women's parents join in on the vacation, we get another glimpse at a time past and how their relationships, love and loss affect their offspring's lives. Memorable and written seamlessly, if you read one book this summer, read The Summer We Came to Life!
