Summary
When a young widow's reclusive life in a charming beach town is interrupted by a surprise visitor, she is forced to reckon with dark secrets about her family, her late husband, and the past she tried to leave behind.

Lauren Adelman and her high school sweetheart, Rory Kincaid, are a golden couple. They marry just out of college as Rory, a star hockey player, earns a spot in the NHL. Their future could not look brighter when Rory shocks everyone-Lauren most of all-by enlisting in the U.S. Army. When Rory dies in combat, Lauren is left devastated, alone, and under unbearable public scrutiny.

Seeking peace and solitude, Lauren retreats to her family's old beach house on the Jersey Shore. But this summer she's forced to share the house with her overbearing mother and competitive sister. Worse, a stranger making a documentary about Rory tracks her down and persuades her to give him just an hour to talk about her husband.

One hour with filmmaker Matt Brio turns into a summer of revelations, surprises, and upheaval. As the days grow shorter and her grief changes shape, Lauren begins to understand the past-and to welcome the future.

The story was shallow, and the narrator was horrible! She inappropriately squeaked every character’s voice!!

I found this book tedious and slow moving. Lauren, the main character, and her sister come across as bratty, indulged millennials. They also seem to be like their mother: a weak woman who gives up her dream for a man. The story doesn’t start moving until about the 40th chapter. Plus, the narrator’s vocal fry is excruciating! And, she had weird inflections. The big plot “twist” is predictable. Sorry to have used a month’s credit on this one :(. Don’t understand why it was ranked as a must-read.
