Summary

There are secrets you share and secrets you hide...

For everyone who loved Brothers and Sisters.

My mother said it simply: 'Be careful what you give up.' 'Because you can't get it back?' 'No.' She squeezed my shoulder. 'Because eventually, you get it back any way you can.'

Georgia Ford, associate at a lop LA law firm, has built a solid life for herself away from her childhood spent in the beautiful surroundings of her parents' Californian vineyard. The life of a winemaker was too precarious, too heartbreaking and unpredictable for her. But just a week before her wedding to her beloved Ben, a secret is revealed that changes everything.

Returning to the family vineyard, Georgia just wants to throw herself into the grape harvest with her long-married parents, her inseparable twin brothers, and everything familiar. But the foundations of Georgia's ideas about love and happiness are shaken as she realises that her parents' long marriage is not quite the picture-perfect relationship she had always assumed it was. And neither is her brothers' easygoing camaraderie.

As the last harvest draws to a close, Georgia discovers that in the time she's been away, the vineyard has settled into a rhythm of its own, and it's the people who tend to it who are struggling to keep their roots.

In ways she never imagined, her whole life is unravelling, and it's up to Georgia to bring everyone through the storm....

Not: the last he told me

Thought I’d read another Laura Dave book after thoroughly enjoying the last thing her told me - this does not come close - weak story, mediocre and just a little boring ☹️
