“A Hundred Summers” by Beatriz Williams

A Hundred Summers by Beatriz Williams: Budgie Byrne is the life of the party, the girl that all the boys fawn over. Her life-long best friend Lily Dane, however, feels she is the complete opposite. In the fall of 1931, Lily & Budgie make the drive from Smith College up to Dartmouth to see Budgie’s latest boyfriend play in a football game. While she’s there Lily meets Nick Greenwald, the superstar quarterback. Lily and Nick begin a whirlwind romance promising each other forever. Fast forward to 1938, Lily is back at her family’s summer home in Rhode Island when Budgie and her now husband Nick breeze into town. Budgie begs Lily to pick up their friendship where they left off before she married her ex-fiance. Spending time with Nick again becomes difficult for Lily who is still unsure what really happened between them all those years ago. When a tremendous storm blows into their seaside paradise buried truths will be unearthed and Lily will discover the lies that have altered the course of her life. Beatriz Williams has written a gorgeous historically set story filled with love, friendship, betrayal, romance and suspense. “A Hundred Summers” is the perfect book to escape the cold winter days.
