À propos de cet audio
Summer Wilde is a wannabe country music star. But when her latest girl band abandons her in a motel outside Tulsa, she is forced to face the shadows of her past.
Twenty years ago, the summer of '77 was supposed to be the best summer of her life. She and her best friends, Spring, Autumn, and Snow—the Four Seasons, 4ever—had big plans.
But those plans never had a chance. After a teenage prank gone awry, the Seasons found themselves on a bus to Tumbleweed, "Nowhere," Oklahoma, to spend eight weeks as camp counselors. Arriving with hidden secrets and buried fears, those two months changed their friendships and the course of their lives.
Now, thirty-something and with no direction for her future, Summer is at a crossroads. Returning to the place where everything changed, she soon learns Tumbleweed is more than a town she left and never wanted to see again. It's the place for healing, for reconciling the past with the present, and for finally listening to love's voice. Celebrating the songs of our hearts, the joys of love, and the threads of friendship that tie us all together, New York Times bestselling author Rachel Hauck's radiant story perfectly captures all the romance, heartache, and hope of the best summer ever.
©2023 Rachel Hauck (P)2023 Recorded BooksI’m struggling to know what to say because I believe in leaving honest reviews. Though I loved The Writing Desk by this author, this book was just okay for me.
“The Seasons” of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Show was a little too corny for me personally. I did love the appropriate song titles for chapters. I enjoyed the camaraderie, friendship, growing pains, etc. but I struggled with liking Summer at all — until maybe the very end. Her happy ending felt a little forced. Snow seemed like a minor character and this book was mainly Summer’s story. Jumping between the characters and the time periods was a little jarring at times. Sometimes I wondered where the book was going.
For me this is a clean fiction book, not Christian fiction, in all honesty. The faith element was lacking and that was disappointing. “The Preacher” character seemed more like a mystical/gnostic being for me. An encounter with Jesus is spiritual. A physical man isn’t needed and that just didn’t sit right with me. Jesus Christ makes himself real to us in a way beyond a ‘body’ when we seek Him.
I appreciated the emphasis of appreciating friends and not waiting to make things right after a separation or fall-out.
Like anything else, book enjoyment and experience is subjective. I guess this just wasn’t completely for me but I wanted to attempt to explain why.
Excellent narrator. Book was okay.
