The author’s love of sea turtles and their preservation continues with this latest book – a process that I find to be quite fascinating. It explores many of the complexities of life during the pandemic, providing insight into how the Rutledge family coped. The Summer of Lost and Found was an entertaining and enjoyable read. Linnea’s life becomes more complicated as she has feelings for both men at the same time and is uncertain what to do about it. By the time Gordon arrives and finishes his quarantine, John and Linnea have rekindled their friendship. Desperate for company and to meet her financial obligations, Linnea invites a female colleague to move in with her. To compound things further, her former flame John has moved in next door to care for his Grandmother. Her boyfriend Gordon is in his native England and Linnea has felt the struggle of maintaining a long distance relationship. Linnea Rutledge has been furloughed from her position at the aquarium and is feeling all the financial, emotional and health issues many have felt in the past year. The book is set in the Isle of Palms during 2020 in the throws of the COVID-19 pandemic. It certainly can be read as a standalone, but is more likely appreciated if you’ve read the earlier books in the series. The Summer of Lost and Found is the seventh book in the author’s Beach Read series. It wouldn’t feel like summer if I didn’t read and share Mary Alice Monroe’s latest book.
