Summer on the Island

By: Brenda Novak

Narrated by: Amy McFadden

"Welcome spring with the newest treat from Brenda Novak. This is the book her fans, old and new, have been waiting for. A big, tantalizing read!"—Susan Elizabeth Phillips, New York Times bestselling author

A summer of healing, friendship, love…and a secret that could change everything.

After the death of her US senator father, Marlow Madsen travels to the small island off the coast of Florida where she spent summers growing up to help her mother settle the family estate. For Marlow, the trip is a chance to reconnect after too long apart. It’s also the perfect escape to help her feel grounded again—one she’s happy to share with friends Aida and Claire, who are hoping to hit reset on their lives, too.

A leisurely beachfront summer promises the trio of women the opportunity to take deep healing breaths and explore new paths. But when her father’s will reveals an earth-shattering secret that tarnishes his impeccable reputation and everything she thought she knew about her family, Marlow finds herself questioning her entire childhood—and aspects of her future. Fortunately, her friends, and the most unlikely love interest she could imagine, prove that happiness can be found no matter what—as long as the right people are by your side.

Narrator

I always like Brenda Novak and this was a good book but the narrator almost ruined the it for me. She was not good!

summer on the island by Brenda Novak

I love reading BN books. As always this was a wonderful book read. I enjoyed the characters in this book. I also listening to on Audible while reading this book at the same time. This is how I read a book the Audible is very entertaining and makes me feel like I am right there. The narrator performance was really entertaining and exciting to listen too. 📖❤️📚

Narration flubs

I enjoyed this book very much, despite the narrator’s mispronounced words. Her “bed” sounds like bahd, as well as “said sounds like sahd. It seems that almost all of the author’s words that have a short “e” were spoken as if it is an ah sound. It is bothersome, but I managed to overlook it and listen to the story with a scowl on my face.
Who edits these books? Is anyone listening for errors?

Feel good book

I enjoyed the various story lines. Narcissism, forgiveness, insecurities and the big surprise kept me engaged.

Loved

Excellent story! It really held my attention, hated for it to end.

The narrator is great, she is so much better than a lot of them for sure!
