anabel_unker 's review for:

The Sirens of Soleil City by Sarah C. Johns
4.0

*I received a copy of this book on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for this opportunity*

Unexpectedly heartwarming and tender, THE SIRENS OF SOLEIL CITY explores motherhood, friendship, and the intricacies of mother/daughter relationships as we age. Bound together by the complicated ties of family, three generations of women (and a cast of other memorable characters) work towards saving the Soleil City apartment complex from gentrification. Their brilliant idea? To enter a local geriatric synchronized swimming competition to bring awareness to their community (as well as the cash prize of $10,000).

SIRENS' wit and poignancy makes it a wonderful choice for a makes-you-feel-all-the-feels summer read!
