The Best Summer of Our Lives by Rachel Hauk follows four young women the summer after they graduated from high school. The Four Season: Summer, Snow, Autumn and Spring, wanted to have the best summer of their lives. After a mishap they ended up in Tumbleweed, OK at a camp and that summer changed everything!
This was a beautifully written redemptive story, and there is nothing I like better than a redemptive story. It was told seamlessly from each character’s perspective in 1977 and 1997. The author did an amazing job with coming of age issues and how they were carried into each character’s adult lives. I was invested in the story and each character. The story shares of how “The Preacher” gently woos us and walks with us through the hard times. The story was not preachy, but shared the heart of the Father. The ending was amazing and so well done.
The Best Summer of Our Lives is a thoughtful, enduring, and a timeless story. The author is an incredible story teller and I am so glad it was a part of my summer reading. I highly recommend.
