Swimming Lessons Audiobook

" It was the first book of Mary's I have read and I love turtles! It was great and I'm glad I won her new one I Can't wait read it! "

" Love this story! Another excellent book from Mary Alice Monroe. "

" I enjoyed this summer beach read. I always love books about SC and the loggerhead turtles made the story more interesting. I am looking forward to reading more of the author's books. "

" better than The Beach house that is follows. "

" Three and a half stars. I enjoyed this as I have the Mary Alice Monroe books I have read, and I liked discovering more of Toy Sooner's story I first met her in The Beach House.I enjoyed seeing her develop, though at times I found her decisions like with Darryl inexplicable.It is obvious a lot of research had gone into the turtles and their habits. However though I enjoyed this story, at times I found the amount of turtle detail overwhelmed the characters and story a bit. While I enjoyed it and read it though quickly, I didn't find it quite as captivating as I did Skyward and The Buttefly's Daughter. Maybe I'm not that into turtles? "

" I thought it was a very interesting story. I learned so much about sea turtles. But the main story kept me reading to see what was going to happen next. "

" This is the second in a series. Still enjoying the series and I am getting ready to read the third installment. The third book is Beach House Memories. "

" Almost finished and have really loved this one! "

" Easy, mindless read. Pleasant to the point of almost annoying. "

" Picks up on characters in The Beach House. A drama that leaves little to the imagination, but I'm okay with it. "

" I wasn't as impressed with SL as I was The Beach House. However, you're visiting old friends with Toy and her daughter, little Olivia. The book has transitioned several years so it was interesting to see what became of the characters. "

" A nice follow up to The Beach House. "

" I enjoyed this sequel to The Beach House. This book also focuses on relationships. The setting for the book is the South Carolina coast (Charleston) and weaves in interesting information about the loggerhead turtle. "

" I enjoyed this and The Beach House so much, I bought Turtle Summer for my seven-year-old granddaughter for Christmas. Her family vacations on Topsail Island, NC and alway go to the turtle rescue center while they are there. "

" This is the sequel of Beach House, so it was interesting to find out what has happened to the characters. Toy has certainly grown, and her "Turtle Life" was interesting. Loved the Isle of Palms setting! Hope there is another sequel so we can keep up with the Turtle Ladies and Toy's life. "

" I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I learned so much in the process about the turtles and the devoted caretakeers of them. "

" Very different and an interesting plot. "
