Strawberry Summer

By: Melissa Brayden

Narrated by: Paige McKinney

Just because you're through with your past, doesn't mean it's through with you.

Margaret Beringer didn't have an easy adolescence. She hated her name, was less than popular in school, and was always cast aside as a "farm kid." However, with the arrival of Courtney Carrington, Margaret's youth sparked into color. Courtney was smart, beautiful, and put together - everything Margaret wasn't. Who would have imagined that they'd fit together so perfectly?

But first loves can scar.

Margaret hasn't seen Courtney in years and that's for the best. But when Courtney loses her father and returns to Tanner Peak to take control of the family store, Margaret comes face-to-face with her past and the woman she's tried desperately to forget. The fact that Courtney has grown up more beautiful than ever certainly doesn't help matters.

A small town romance.

Authors best work ever

I laughed I cried and even got angry at times. Melissa wrote a wonderful story about life's ups and downs. This book was just awesome

Don't Know What To Think...

The main character, Maggie, I found to be very unappealing. I don't know if it was the narrator who made her seem overly sweet, or if that's just the way she was written. But in now way did she seem like she would have appealed to or have been a good match for Courtney. There was a real disconnect between those two in my mind. Maggie seemed to be almost childlike. In one scene she was excited about going to play Pictionary with her family rather than staying to make out with her girlfriend. What teenager would make that choice? Not many, if I remember correctly.

So Good!!!

Melissa Brayden never fails!!! The story was a great one and the characters were equally awesome! Please read or listen to this book, you will not be disappointed!

Heart Warming

I loved the story line and the characters. The only thing I didn't like was when Maggie became an adult she still had her young teenage voice. The Narrator should have changed the voice a bit. Other then that I loved the story!

Why did it have to end?

Loved this book! Wonderful characters and dialogue. The chemistry between the main characters sizzled. Don’t wait....get this book right now. You won’t be disappointed.
