This was the ideal summer read.
Set in the North East Coast, this is the story of three women: Katie, Robyn and Grace and the friendship that developed between them, despite age and background.
It is also a story of hope and triumph in the most difficult and challenging of circumstances. And how each woman supports the other to find the sun behind the darkest of clouds.
Cathy has yet again written a novel that brings hope to us all. It is a book that made me smile and believe in the power of friendship. It is well written and obviously well researched.
I highly recommend it.

Hello dear reader!
Of all the books you could have chosen, you chose mine and I’m very grateful, so thank you!
While you’re here, I thought I’d take the opportunity to tell you a bit more about myself. I was brought up in Birmingham, but now live in a pretty little village in Nottinghamshire. Our two daughters have flown the nest (although there still seems to be a lot of clutter in their rooms), but we love having country walks on our doorstep, as does Pearl, our dog.
Despite being slap-bang in the middle of the country I LOVE the sea and visit the coast as often as I can. Waking up to the sound of waves is probably one of my favourite things, along with going to the cinema, cooking for friends, and finding the perfect dress (an endless quest, but still, I try).

Cathy Bramley has managed to knock my favourite book of hers off of the top spot with her new novel The Summer That Changed Us. In this novel we meet three down to earth women all facing life impacting situations that many of us may face in our lives and they hit home the importance of friendship and talking about the problems we face because a problem shared is a problem halved.At the start of the novel as we are introduced to each of the women and we begin to get a glimpse of the effects their issues are having on their daily lives but at this point we do not know what the women are dealing with until by chance the paths of all three women cross in what is a most memorable and laugh out loud way and from that moment the most beautiful seed is planted and a blossoming friendship develops.The woman show such care, love and support for each other throughout the novel encouraging each other on building up their strength and courage to cope with their situations. This was a solid friendship that I envied and wanted to be right at the heart of this friendship.I do not want to ruin anything about this book even with a small spoiler so I am not going to mention what situations affected each of them but they are all life changing honest and real situations that we could face or may have already faced in our lives and this novel will raise awareness and may even provide some comfort to people too to know they are not alone and that there could be a glimmer of light at the end.This is a novel that will stay in my heart it was so refreshing to have a novel that had a believable supportive friendship at the core and that was raw and honest rather than painting a rosey picture perfect picture of lives with struggles. I highly recommend The Summer that Changed Us it is a beautiful life affirming novel with a few giggles along the way.
