It is very clear to see early on into the book that there are a lot of secrets both big and small within the Story family. I’m a big fan of Jonah and I’ll leave it at that! Aubrey starts off as the quietest and most shy of the cousins but as the book goes on, Aubrey grows a lot! She becomes such a crucial character and the strongest character in the book.
She is a New York socialite with so much sass. We get to know the cousins as they get to know one another and watch them develop as people! I loved all of the characters in this book, especially the three cousins. It is so easy to distinguish between the voices of Aubrey, Milly and Jonah. Throughout this book we get to see three different perspectives of the Story family. It immediately pulled me in and even though the tone in this is slightly different to the author’s previous books it is still a whirlwind of a ride! McManus always knows how to get someone out of a reading slump! The stories that she write are gripping and incredibly thrilling and her latest novel, The Cousins, is no different. I read this book in a day and a half.Karen M. McManus because the mystery was that great. Overall, I recommend The Cousins by Karen M. I think it would have been nice to have maybe a mini tree put in front of each chapter so I could keep up because I felt there were so many to keep up with! Once I was more than halfway through, I ended up getting the hang of the family tree. I loved it and could not believe I didn’t even come close to guessing the whodunnit person! I will say I did have trouble keeping up with all the family members, often having to go back and read the family tree multiple times. In true McManus fashion, this book is filled with twists and turns, along with a mystery that will keep you guessing. Who will survive until the end? Get your copy on Amazon! We see how she and her brothers interacted, leading us to find out more about this letter. In between the cousin’s storyline, we get whisked into Allison’s (Milly’s mother) storyline from decades earlier. Will this lead them to uncover the truth behind the elusive letter? Better yet, will this summer drive these cousins together, or will they be another generation of Story’s that lose touch after summer ends? While on the island, they uncover family secrets that their parents wish stayed buried. But a part of them is also curious to find out what the final letter she sent to them meant because their parents deny they did anything. They don’t want to be a pawn in their parents strained relationship. It isn’t until they each receive a letter from their long lost Grandmother on Gull Cove Island inviting them to spend the summer and work at her resort they meet again. Aubrey, Milly, and Jonah Story are not close at all.
