THE SUMMER SEEKERS BY SARAH MORGAN – BOOK REVIEW

PUBLISHED BY HQ ON THE 27th MAY 2021

Kathleen is eighty years old. After a run-in with an intruder, her daughter wants her to move into a residential home. She’s not having any of it. What she craves – needs – is adventure.

Liza is drowning under the daily stress of family life. The last thing she needs is her mother jetting off on a wild holiday, making Liza dream of a solo break of her own.

Martha is having a quarter-life crisis. Unemployed, unloved, and uninspired, she just can’t get her life together. But she knows something has to change.

When Martha sees Kathleen’s advert for a driver and companion to take an epic road trip across America, she decides this job might be the answer to her prayers. Traveling with a stranger? No problem. She’s not the world’s best driver, but it couldn’t be worse than living with her parents again. And anyway, how much trouble can one eighty-year-old woman be?

As these women embark on the journey of a lifetime, they all discover it’s never too late for adventure…

What I thought

I loved this and would highly recommend it for a delightful summer read or actually, any time of the year read. This gave you travel, adventure, human element, secrets, in fact just about everything you would want in a great book. I loved that Kathleen was 80 years old and still wanting to do things also that a young Martha is willing to spend her summer with Kathleen. They had the adventure of a lifetime and were both better from it plus got to see many new places and met new people.

A very inspiring story for any age.
