The Summer Of Songbirds

 

 

✰✰✰✰✰

Nearly thirty years ago, in the wake of a personal tragedy, June Moore bought Camp Holly Springs and turned it into a thriving summer haven for girls. But now, June is in danger of losing the place she has sacrificed everything for—and begins to realize how much she has used the camp to avoid facing difficulties in her life. 

 
June’s niece, Daphne, met her two best friends, Lanier Bradley and Mary Stuart Harris, during a fateful summer at camp, and the three are inseparable even in their thirties. But when attorney Daphne discovers that Lanier’s fiancé—who just so happens to be her client—has done something highly illegal, she must choose between her job and her friendship. 

Meanwhile, Lanier is hiding secrets both new and old that might make Daphne see the situation in an entirely different light. When one of those secrets unexpectedly rises to the surface, it threatens to change the very fabric of their friendship.
But when the women learn that their childhood oasis is in danger of closing, they put aside their own problems and band together with June to save it, sending them on a journey that promises to open the next chapters in their lives.

 There are stories that you enjoy, and there are stories that stay with you. The Summer of Songbirds How do I describe how this book made me feel? So many emotions went through me as I read this book. Even days after I finished the book, I couldn't get out of my mind. I have recommended this book to a few of my friends as I read it. The Summer of Songbirds will have you going on an adventure of a lifetime with June, Daphne, Lanier, and Mary Stewart. Their bond and friendship were the book's best and my favorite part. Their friendship reminded me of how I met my best friends and how we are still going strong. They might have their fallouts, but in the end, they were always there for one another. I knew that no matter what else happened, they would always have each other. 

I have been hearing about this book. Now that I had a chance to read it, I understand why. The Summer Of Songbirds is about love, friendship, second chances, and hope. I love how they all came together to save Camp Holly Springs, where they met each other. I love how they tried everything in their power to keep the place that they love. When you pick up the book, be prepared to read for hours. I forced myself to put the book down despite wanting to see how it would end. Would they be able to save the camp? That question was the most important question of them all. 

I loved the description of the scenery; it made me feel myself transforming there. I love books about friendships, and this is now one of my favorites. The title and cover might capture my attention, but I fell in love with the story and the characters. This is the first book I have read by Kristy Woodson Harvey, and now I'm curious to discover what else she has written about. I would highly recommend checking this book out.
