Summer Wedding by Sarah Morgan

A family wedding
Catherine Swift is a bestselling romance author, but her personal story hasn’t been quite so successful; three failed marriages have left her relationship with her daughters strained. Engaged once again, Catherine is counting on this wedding, at her villa in Corfu, to finally bring the family together.

A summer of secrets
Adeline can’t believe her mother is getting married for a fourth time, or that she’s expected to attend. It brings back the pain of her mother’s infidelity and the baby who was the result. Not that she blames her half-sister Cassie, but then she’s never tried to know her, either. Cassie, on the other hand, is thrilled by her mother’s news – she’s always admired Catherine’s resilience, and is excited to meet the mystery groom. Cassie also has a secret of her own, and a summer in Corfu will give her the time she needs to process everything.

A chance to start over again
As the guests arrive on the island, and the big day approaches, Catherine begins to reveal secrets from her past, and suddenly both Cassie and Adeline realise that they don’t know their mother at all . . .

BOOK REVIEW

I recently had the pleasure of reading “Summer Wedding” by Sarah Morgan and it did not disappoint. The book follows the story of Catherine Swift, a bestselling romance author, and her family as they gather for her fourth wedding at her villa in Corfu.

What struck me the most about this book was the complex and relatable characters. Catherine, who has had three failed marriages, is eager to bring her family together and mend strained relationships. Adeline, her daughter from a past infidelity, is grappling with her feelings about attending the wedding and meeting her half-sister Cassie. Cassie, on the other hand, is excited to finally meet her new stepfather and has a secret of her own that she needs to process.

Throughout the book, the characters are forced to confront their past and present issues. As Catherine reveals secrets from her past, her daughters begin to realize they didn’t really know their mother at all. I appreciated how the author explored themes of family, love, forgiveness, and starting over.

The setting of the book in Corfu was beautifully described, and I could almost feel the warm breeze and smell the ocean as I read. It added to the charm of the story and made it all the more enjoyable.

The writing itself was also excellent. Sarah Morgan has a way of crafting beautiful and vivid descriptions, while also maintaining a good pace and keeping the story interesting. The dialogue felt realistic, and I enjoyed how the author alternated between different characters’ perspectives.

Overall, I highly recommend “Summer Wedding” to anyone looking for a heartwarming and well-written family drama. It’s a perfect read for a lazy summer day, and I guarantee it will make you want to book a trip to Corfu.
