Love the story line and all the characters. Kept me interested the whole time

It has taken me weeks to get almost halfway. But I think I’m going to give up and accept the fact that I lost money on it. The story is repetitive. Not really moving forward. And it’s not at all romantic. Just trashy.

It was a bit predictable, and the characters were not very inviting In the beginning, but Mason kept me interested. Predictable but sweet ending, good for a light read.

I absolutely adored this book! Robyn was a delightful character and the calm in everyone else’s storm. She’s level headed and caring, although a bit self-sacrificing at times. Her relationship with her children is wonderful, even if they…okay, just Harlow…are not at times. I won’t comment on all the people in the book, but will say that Lillian was my favorite. She was spunky, kind and extremely honest. She reminded me of my grandmother, minus the cocktail hour! She was written in such a way that I felt her personality throughout the pages of the book. Not to leave out Mason, either. I loved the relationship between not only he and Robyn, but his fondness for Lillian, as well as Robyn’s childhood. He’s a good, solid man. That may sound a bit stiff and possibly boring, but I think it’s what every woman, or man, deserves. One last thing I wanted to mention. Lillian’s house. Ms. Mallory’s description brought it to life for me. I’ve always had a fascination with the Winchester house in San Jose, which is compared to Lillian’s sprawling, sometimes confusing mansion in the book. I’ve always wanted to visit it. And now, I feel like I have, just a bit.

Great read! This book has it all - family, friendships, and romance. Great motivating book to look at yourself and the chances and choices you take and make. Many twists and turns to keep the reader engaged. Couldn’t put it down and was sad when it was done.

Susan Mallery is amazing at capturing how real families and their drama can affect lives. The dynamics feel so real. You can picture the hurt and love in the characters. I love that her books aren’t only about romance but family. Her characters learn and grow throughout the book. Great summer read! (And I love the cover!)

In The Summer Getaway Susan Mallery again tells an emotional story of a family going through changes. Robyn travels across country to visit her aunt to decide what changes she wants to make. Everyone in her life follows her. The new man in her life helps Robyn decide the changes that are best for her. Her children also make life changing decisions

Every time I pick up a Susan Mallery book I know I’m going to be entertained for a few hours and The Summer Getaway is no exception. This book has an engaging storyline, likable characters, humor, and a lot of other emotions

The Summer Getaway was such a fun read. I loved Robyn, instead of focusing on issues in her life negatively she figured out a new plan to make herself happy. This book was also FUNNY! Plus it had a good dose of romance mixed in with family drama. Another winner by Susan Mallery I received this ARC free from the author. The review was voluntary. The opinions my own.

Such a great book, from the beginning to the end. I absolutely loved it.
