When twelve-year-olds Kat Steiner and Blake O’Neill meet at Camp Chickawah, they have an instant connection. But everything falls apart when they learn they’re not just best friends—they’re also half sisters. Confused and betrayed, the girls break off all contact.
Fifteen years later, when their father dies suddenly, Kat and Blake discover he’s left them a joint inheritance: the family beach house in Destin, Florida. The two sisters are immediately at odds. Blake, who has recently been demoted from regular nanny to dog nanny, wants to sell the house, while social media influencer Kat is desperate to hold on to the place where she lived so many happy memories.
Kat and Blake reluctantly join forces to renovate the dilapidated house, with the understanding that Kat will try to buy Blake out at the end of the summer. The women clash as Blake’s renovation plans conflict with Kat’s creative vision; meanwhile, each sister finds herself drawn into a summer romance. As the weeks pass, the two women realize the most difficult project they face this summer will be coming to grips with their shared past—and learning how to become sisters.

When they were just 12 years old, Kat Steiner and Blake O'Neill met at Camp Chickawah. They became the best of friends until they learned that they share the same father. Fifteen years later, that father dies, leaving each of them half of the family beach house. Despite their long-held resentment, the two are forced to work together to renovate the dilapidated property. In the process, they learn that they have more to work on than just the house. Under the pen name Brady, Alison Hammer (You and Me and Us) and Bradeigh Godfrey (The Imposter) have written the perfect summer beach read. Narrators Brittany Pressley and Imani Jade Powers capture the personalities of these polar-opposite sisters. Each narrator effectively portrays how the women confront the fallout of their father's choice, often leading to clashes and misunderstanding. But, through introspection and the help of pop psychology, the sisters make it work, tying the story up with a neat and satisfying bow. VERDICT Listeners looking for a light read with a little summer romance will be pleased. A fun crowd-pleaser that will enhance any collection.--Elyssa Everling
