Sea Escape by Lynne Griffin

“Sea Escape is the story of the layers that exist in the relationship between a mother and a daughter. The author does a nice job of examining both the things that kept the relationship together and the walls that kept the two apart. The characters in this novel seem very real and you can almost imagine you are at their house on the beach on the east coast. The setting is almost its own character. The lives of mother and daughter parallel in some ways that are revealed through the book. It felt like each family secret that was revealed was a breadcrumb that led to something bigger at the end. I do wish that the author had given more explanation at the end. Overall, this was a decent book with lots of layers.”
