Synopsis

Wedding season has arrived in New York Times bestselling author Mary Alice Monroe’s fourth novel in the “distinct, complex, and endearing” (Charleston Magazine) Lowcountry Summer series, set against the romantic, charming Carolina lowcountry.

Nothing could be more enchanting than a summer wedding—or two!—in storied Sullivan’s Island. A centuries-old plantation, an avenue of ancient oaks dripping moss, a sand dune at sunset… it’s all picture perfect, and half-sisters Dora, Carson, and Harper, and their grandmother Marietta “Mamaw” Muir couldn’t be more excited. Wedding dresses are picked, venues booked, and delectable cakes tasted. What could possibly go wrong?

The answer, the Muir clan is soon to find out, is everything. Carson loves Blake, but struggles with giving up her independence. Harper questions if a prenuptial agreement will help or hurt the future of her marriage, and a newly unfettered Dora is uncertain whether she really wants to walk down the aisle again. Just when it seems things couldn’t get more complicated for the Muir sisters, a stranger arrives bearing a long-held family secret that has the potential to upset even the most carefully laid-out wedding plans. With the weddings mere weeks away, the invitations sent out, and the family in tumult, Mamaw and her Summer Girls discover the enduring and powerful bonds of family, and realize that, no matter how different each bride might be, she can still have her perfect wedding.

This book just felt a little predictable and rushed....the tension was mostly manufactured and the "family secret" unfolded just a little too strangely. I like this series and will keep reading, but this wasn't my favorite.......more

Goodreads review by Paula on May 09, 2016

Initially, I was so so excited to see that a fourth book was coming out in the Summer Girl series. I really liked the first three, and wanted to continue reading about the Muir sisters and their grandmother. But although the story was inviting, I found this one to be my least favorite. Maybe too pred......more

Meh. This one I didn’t love. The only reason I kept reading it was because I was already invested in the characters. The best part was the relationship between Girard and Mawma. The plot was incredibly predictable, and while I completely accept that in these chick lit novels, this one was simply too......more
