That Summer Place: An Anthology

Very cute book. Easy reading. I love Debbie Macomber, but now I've found two other authors to read.

Great summer reading. All three stories captivating from beginning to end. Made me want to visit and vacation on Puget Sound!!!!

This book includes three stories all revolving around one location, San Juan Islands in Washington State. One author started the stories by setting the scene, then two other authors continued with Debbie Macomber's story in the middle. I have enjoyed much of Macomber's work, so I selected this novel to a quick summer read. I truely enjoyed the combinations of the three authors, and all three stories were enchanting.

What's better than reading a book by your favorite author? Reading one by your favorite, your second-favorite, and your other second-favorite! I laughed and cried over these three delightful novellas, marveling at the breathtaking setting. If you've ever dreamed of falling in love in a perfect spot, during a perfect summer, this book is for you.
