Not Our Summer

By: Casie Bazay

Narrated by: Rebecca Gibel, Eileen Stevens, Grover Gardner

Five trips, two cousins, one family feud, and a summer that will change their lives forever.

It’s bad enough that estranged cousins Becka and KJ must see each other at their grandfather’s funeral, but when he leaves them a bucket list of places to visit together over the summer so they can earn their inheritance, it seems like things are about to get much worse.

However, with each trip the cousins complete, like riding mules into the Grand Canyon or encountering a bear and a hot tour guide at Yellowstone, they steadily learn about each other and begin to trust one another - that is, until the truth behind Grandpa’s bucket list and their family feud is revealed, testing Becka and KJ far beyond their limits.

Will they ultimately find a way to accept each other, or will their grandpa’s wish to mend his divided family end up buried alongside him inside his bright green casket?

Wonderful story about overcoming family conflict and forgiving

The is a wonderful book for any person that has had an awkward Thanksgiving dinner due to uncomfortable family strife. While the main characters are teens growing into adulthood, any age can relate to the story’s main themes overcoming anger and forgiving. Great story.

Great story line and characters.

I enjoyed this book so much. Having raised a few teenagers myself, I can relate to their attitudes. The characters come to life so well. I can't wait to see what this author has for us in the future.
