Customer Reviews

Great read!

This is a wonderful summer read! Set on beautiful Cape Cod it is an intriguing look at how our relationships with others intertwine. This book is a MUST for your beach and vacation reading by a wonderfully talented author.

the summer companion

the perfect companion for my vacation (in particular the Kindle version!) and not only. that novel that when you turn the page, you don't want it to end. looking forward to hundreds more of these from the author. hope she'll make it to some book signing down to Florida.

Summer Shift

A FANTASTIC READ!!!!!! Lynn Kiele Bonasia doesn't disappoint with her new book, Summer Shift. This book pulls you in with believable characters and storyline. Summer Shift makes you feel as if you are a part of the Clambake and Cape Cod. Impossible to put down, hated when I had finished reading the book, because I WANTED MORE!!!!

Great one just in time for summer...

Really enjoyed this book. Great characters, evocative scenes (really feel like you are right there), and a sweet, funny, touching story. And parts of it even made me cry (although I am, admittedly, a sap). Definitely recommend as a great summer read.

If you're fond of Sand Dunes...

Salty Air, Clam Shaks, and Beaches, you are sure to fall in love with Summer Shift. This book took me back to my early Cape Cod holidays, when as a teenager we would visit Wellfleet for a week in August. I fell in love with the lovely, oddball characters in this book. A weathered wooden chair, some chilly French Rose wine, and this book...oh, and some sun; good times!
