The Review 📚 The Cousins
✨ The Title/Cover Draw:
- Another book with a lot of hype recently. Never read anything from this author before so trying this was a must!
💜 What I liked:
- The story is told between Allison in the past and the cousins- Aubrey, Milly, and Jonah in the present. There are so many questions that you want the answer to and the complexities of these characters are fantastic. There are a LOT of secrets.
😱 What I didn’t like:
- My only complaint is the fact that I kept mixing up the other siblings even with a genealogy chart. Because all the siblings’ names start with an “A”, I kept getting them mixed up.
💁♀️ The Characters:
- Allison, Anders, Archer, and Adam are the siblings who have been cut off from their mother. Aubrey, Milly, and Jonah are her grandchildren invited to work at the family island resort.
🚦 My face at the end: 😲
💭 5 Reasons to Read:
- A mysterious reason to discover
- Summer beach location
- Cliffhanger chapters
- Fast paced
- Immersive environment
🕧 Mini-Summary:
- Aubrey, Milly and Jonah have been invited to work at their grandmother’s resort, but why has their family been dis-inherited?
All thoughts and opinions are my own.
📘 Summary 📚 The Cousins
Milly, Aubrey, and Jonah Story are cousins, but they barely know each another, and they’ve never even met their grandmother. Rich and reclusive, she disinherited their parents before they were born. So when they each receive a letter inviting them to work at her island resort for the summer, they’re surprised… and curious.
Their parents are all clear on one point—not going is not an option. This could be the opportunity to get back into Grandmother’s good graces. But when the cousins arrive on the island, it’s immediately clear that she has different plans for them. And the longer they stay, the more they realize how mysterious—and dark—their family’s past is.
The entire Story family has secrets. Whatever pulled them apart years ago isn’t over—and this summer, the cousins will learn everything.
