Some summers will stay with you forever...

Callie Weaver and best friend Olivia Dixon have finally done it: put their life savings into the beach house they admired through childhood summers, on the dazzling white sand of North Carolina’s Outer Banks. They’re going to buff the salt from its windows, paint its sun-bleached sidings, and open it as a bed and breakfast.

Callie’s too busy to think about her love life, but when she catches the attention of local heartthrob Luke Sullivan, his blue eyes and easy smile make it hard to say no. He’s heir to his father’s property empire, and the papers say he’s just another playboy, but as they laugh in the ocean waves, Callie realizes there’s more to this man than money and good looks.

Just when true happiness seems within reach, Callie and Olivia find a diary full of secrets... secrets that stretch across the island, and have the power to turn lives upside down. As Callie reads, she unravels a mystery that makes her heart drop through the floor.

Will Callie and Luke be pulled apart by the storm it unleashes, or can true love save them?

The Summer House is an absolutely gorgeous, heart-warming summer romance, about the importance of family, not keeping secrets, and learning how to open your heart.

Olivia and Callie are best friends who finally took the plunge and bought a beach house to open up a bed and breakfast. At the moment they are renovating and can use all the help they can get if they want to open up soon. But soon enough distractions start to take place when a box and diary from the previous owner is found and local playboy Luke seems to have his eyes on Callie.

This book took me a bit of time to finish but I think it was just me and not that this book was slow. I did enjoy reading this book getting to see the diary entries as the girls read them, seeing things get pieced together and seeing what they were going to do with the information that they had. I've always had a fascination of reading others diaries that I would've loved to be in the girls place. I loved getting to know the characters and seeing a bit of romance between Luke and Callie. Overall this was a pretty good book I really enjoyed it.
