Swallowtail Summer by Erica James
4.0

3.5 stars
As in every family or group of a long time or life long friends, there are always secrets kept from everyone or there are twists and turns that can change the dynamic of the group forever. In this case, is the dead of Allistar's wife. He then decides to take a year off apart from everything he knew until then and when he comes back, he is bringing a new addition to the group, a new woman that everyone hates and they think she only wants to see them apart from the strong bond they had for so many years.

There are many characters in this story, from different generations, and we get to know a bit of everyone and their current lives, but the true secrets are soon revealed and also that will make for a lot of discussion and doubts, and what-ifs or why and how.
Overall was a good story, the writing is great but the pace of the story and everything else felt a little flat for me, i just couldn't get into it or couldn't relay with any of the characters.
