Recent Reads: Cape May by Chip Cheek

My review: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Cape May by Chip Cheek is set in New England in 1957, with Henry and Effie on their honeymoon to her childhood summer vacation spot, but they're visiting it in the off season, and so it's much emptier than she remembers.

Pretty soon, Effie's bored of the place, and wants to go home.  It's not like she remembers, and whilst Henry feels hurt, he's willing to leave.  And then they meet one of the neighbours, someone that Effie knew a long time ago.

This is a tale of an innocent couple, meeting bored, rich people, who open their eyes to a different life.

Can Henry and Effie's marriage survive the ride?  You'll have to read to find out more!

This is Chip Creek's debut novel, and it's a stonker!  It's so evocative, with the scene being set so well that you can believe yourself in a grey seaside town, the drizzle of rain, and the few people who would be there.

Cape May was published on 30th April 2019,  and is available on Amazon  to buy on Kindle and on Waterstones.  I've found a link to where you can search for local bookshops, including independent!

I was given this book for free in return for an unbiased review, so my thanks to NetGalley and to Orion Publishing Group (the publishers) for this book.
