I liked The Summer Guests but not as much as I have other
books by Mary Alice Monroe. Nine chapters in and I was not too thrilled with
the book but attribute it to there being so many characters to decipher
(Charles and Grace; Moira; Elisa, Angel, Greta and Karl; Cara and David). I did
like that the turmoil and devastation of a hurricane mirrors the same for the
characters-all in some form of upheaval and change brewing. The building
hurricane force also mirrors the building changes in the characters’ lives:
abandoned homes for safety-abandoned positions/relationships for personal
well-being.
The addition of Cara and David from previous novels was a
nice touch allowing for closure in their relationship.
