My Summer of You Kindle Edition

by Tammy Robinson (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.0 out of 5 stars 212 ratings
It’s January, the height of a New Zealand summer and the Gilbert family have gathered at the campground they’ve been coming to since the seventies to scatter the ashes of youngest son Jeffrey into the sea. For Jess, the campground holds bittersweet memories. It’s where she passed a childhood of carefree summers, but it’s also the scene of her first heartbreak at the hands of Hunter Aarden. The summer she turned seventeen he promised her he’d love her for always, then he drove out of camp never to be heard from again. Until now. After almost two decades, Jess is finally about to find out why. Both romantic and humorous, My Summer of You is a story that reminds us about the importance of family, and the magic of second chances.

    5.0 out of 5 stars “Po (like Edgar Allan Poe) hu (like who) tu (like tutu) ka (like car) wa (like a baby going waaaaaa!)”
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 January 2016

    Firstly, if you also have no idea how to pronounce the first word of the book title, I have it on good authority that it is pronounced as follows:

    “Po (like Edgar Allan Poe) hu (like who) tu (like tutu) ka (like car) wa (like a baby going waaaaaa!)”

    The funny thing, is that I still can’t say it as one word, but rather 5 very short words, with significant pauses in-between. I dare say this title will entertain me for many years to come, especially as I have a somewhat bizarre image in my mind of Edgar Allan Poe wearing a tutu and crying like a baby.

    This is the second book I’ve read by Tammy Robinson. The first book being Lessons from Ducks, which actually made it into my Top Ten Books read in 2015. One thing I am noticing is how good this author is at creating developed and believable characters. Some of the characters reminded me of myself and loved ones, which made me smile at times.

    Although Pohutukawa Highway does have a sad theme running throughout the story, which did bring tears to my eyes at one point, I did find it to be an uplifting and sometimes funny story overall. It covers loss, grief, love, memories of the past, and family dynamics, within the scenic surroundings of a campsite in New Zealand.

    If you went camping in a tent or caravan with your family, or do so even now, I think this book will entertain you. I went camping with my parents, younger sisters and our dog when I was young, and absolutely loved it. We had a big family tent with lots of poles, so I had a giggle at the memories of trying to get all the poles together, often in wind and rain, as that was our luck when we went camping. I also remember my dad telling us not to touch the sides of the tent otherwise rain would come through the fabric.

    I recommend this to fans of contemporary fiction and romance. I will definitely be reading more books by this author in the future.

    4.0 out of 5 stars ... all of Tammy Robinson's books now and I have enjoyed them all
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 June 2015

    I have read all of Tammy Robinson's books now and I have enjoyed them all.

    Pohutukawa Highway is her latest book.

    Tammy has created yet another wonderful story which was really lovely to read.

    After the death of her brother, Jess returns to her childhood camping ground where she and her family spent lots of memorable holidays.

    The story is very much one of growing up and memories. I have found in Tammy's books they can be tainted with sadness which this one is as well but overall it is a sweet lovely read with a touch of humour.

    Jess is a great character and I enjoyed reading and imagining what her life was like when she was growing up in her family. I loved the banter between the siblings and even with the parents, it was so very true to life.

    For anyone who has ever gone camping or caravanning for their holidays, Pohutukawa Highway will hopefully bring you back some great memories.

    I really would urge anyone who hasn't read any of Tammy's books to give them a go. She is a master of creating a wonderfully written story with great characters that will have you engrossed from start to finish.

    Tammy Robinson invited me in and made me feel part of the family, the descriptive writing had me joining in with the family dynamics and the humorous banter.
    A devastating subject dealt with beautifully, loss, heartbreak and life choices all wrapped up in a well written novel I struggled to put down. Enveloped in a family and the dynamics of their life, reading this book has made me appreciate my own even more.

    The Gilbert family are at the campsite they have been coming to since the the seventies to scatter the ashes of their youngest son Jeffery into the sea. Jess met her first love here and the place holds lots of memories for her, Hunter promised he would love her forever when they were seventeen but then he left without a word one night and she never heard from him again.
    Suddenly he reappears and Jess is able to find out why he left all those years ago.
    This is a beautifully written story, it reminded me of when I was younger myself messing around with my brother on holiday on a campsite. It has funny parts which made me laugh out loud and is true observation of family life at its best and also when they are grieving.
    Loved it!

    I absolutely loved this book. Funny whilst also sad , as a grieving family come together to scatter the ashes of a much loved son and brother. Meeting on a childhood holiday camp reminiscent of holidays of my childhood. I loved the banter between the obviously very close family and again they reminded me of my own family. I could relate to this family so much. Have read Charlie & Pearl by Tammy Robinson and need to get on and read the others by her. Will keep on recommending this to anyone and everyone.

    I read a lot of crime and thrillers and every now and I then I need to take a break and read something warm and lovely and My Summer of You is perfect. Tammy Robinson brings the wonderful Gilbert family to life in this book (previously called Pohutukawa Highway) which is full of love and amusing observations about family life, dynamics, first love and grief. If you are looking for a book to make you smile and feel fuzzy inside - this book should certainly help.

    This was quite a good book and the part where Jeffrey's ashes were scattered was very moving, but the constant wrong use of apostrophes really spoiled it for me.

    I love Tammy's books because her characters are so real. They remind me of people I know. I swear I have been to that campground! Tammy has such a great style, once I started reading I didn't want to put it down. I kept turning the pages because right from the start I felt close to the characters.
    I've read all of Tammy's books and would recommend all of them if you want a well written read with a great Kiwi flavour.

    First of all I'd like to thank my friend Lorraine for introducing me to this wonderful author.

    Since reading her first book I fell in love with the way Tammy writes. You go through the whole gamut of emotions. Tammy can make you laugh on one page and cry on the next.

    Her dialogues are flawless. It's as if the characters are in the room with you and you're eavesdropping on their conversations.

    I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this book from Tammy. I didn't just read it I devoured it.

    I felt as if I was on holiday with them. This is the perfect book to read anywhere at anytime.
