That Summer: A Novel | Lauren Willig

While I did not like this one as much as Ashford Affair, I still enjoyed it overall. Willig uses two time periods to tell a story of love. In 2009, Julia inherits the family home, one she has not seen in over 20 years. In 1849, Imogen feels trapped in a loveless marriage in this same house. But, a visit from some artists will change Imogen‘s life forever.

Thanks to @CouronneDhiver for co-hosting #ThatSummerRead with me!

kspenmoll I had the same reaction; enjoyed this book & I am glad I read it, but The Ashford Affair wins. The Glass Ocean buddy read sounds great @MellieAntoinete thank you for organizing these buddy reads @Librarybelle @CouronneDhiver Am happy to have been introduced to this author by you both! 6y
Librarybelle @CouronneDhiver @Pamwurtzler @MellieAntoinete @kspenmoll I‘d love to do a buddy read with The Glass Ocean! What does everyone else think? Should that be our next one? @Melissa_J 6y

I finished this afternoon. I won‘t spoil it, but am curious to see how you guys think this compares to The Ashford Affair. Thanks for hosting, @Librarybelle and @CouronneDhiver !! #thatsummerread

CouronneDhiver Awesome! 🙂 What‘s your vote? Which one did you prefer and why? (Maybe set it behind a spoiler shield and we can all peek when we‘re done reading). Any favourite character? or plot point? 6y
Pamwurtzler @CouronneDhiver maybe because I read it first, but I thought The Ashford Affair was better - it was less predictable. This was good though! I love the buddy read! 6y

Librarybelle Hooray! 6y
KarouBlue Hooray! My goal is to finish next weekend like 15 min from the deadline! #procrastinatorsanonymous!!! 6y
Melissa_J I‘m only at the halfway mark, but after a slow start I‘m moving through it quickly now (I‘d be finished if only I didn‘t have to go to work 😂). Found this one slow to get into, but I‘m engaged with the story now. Like the modern story more than the historical one. Unless something changes in the 2nd half, I think Ashford Affair is the better Book. 6y
kspenmoll I am enjoying this read but think Ashford is better so far- 6y
