Four cousins red, rose, white
By: Annette Chavez Macias Four cousins navigate love, loss, and the meaning of family over the course of one memorable year in this heartfelt family drama. Cousins Mari, Erica, Selena, and Gracie are inseparable. They aren't just family but best friends--sharing secrets, traditions, and a fierce love for their abuelita. But their idyllic childhood ends when Mari's parents divorce, forcing her to move away. With Mari gone, the girls' tight-knit bond unravels. Fifteen years later, Mari's got the big house and handsome husband, but her life is in shambles. Erica's boyfriend just dumped her, and her new boss hates her. Selena can't seem to find her place in the world--not Mexican enough for her family, not white enough for her colleagues. And Gracie is a Catholic school teacher with an all-consuming crush, but she can't trust herself when it comes to romance. As rocky as the cousins' lives have become, nothing can prepare them for the heartbreaking loss of a loved one. When tragedy reunites them, will they remember their abuelita's lessons about family and forgiveness--or are fifteen years of separation too much to overcome?

I am a big Karen McManus fan, and every book she brings out just seems to get better. I read this over the period between Christmas and New Year and it made for the perfect read for this time of year. It was gripping and an easy read to get through The Cousins is told from the perspectives of three cousins: Milly, Aubrey and Jonah Story. They've been brought to Gull Cove Island by their estranged Grandmother Mildred Story, who has refused to see their parents since before they were born. The three all go with their own agendas, and are hoping to discover the family secrets, win their grandmother over and finally reunite the Story family. However, more secrets are revealed and the family's background gets darker than they ever anticipated. I loved this book. Each of the cousins had their own interesting stories and secrets propping them up and spurring them on which I got totally wrapped up in. Mildred Story's last letter to their parents said 'you know what you did' and the flashbacks in the book to their parents' teenage years gives us little titbits of insight into what they did that adds to the tension. Karen McManus always manages to somehow write books that feel like a total comfort blanket and that I end up reading for hours on end trying to find out exactly what's going on. I gave this five stars and can't wait to see what she releases next! Follow me on Bloglovin | Twitter | Instagram
