Praise for Maine Characters “Hannah Orenstein crafts a story about love and family that’s poignant, funny, and impossible to put down. Maine Characters is a perfect summer by a lake distilled into book form. Even if you’re not reading it in an Adirondack chair with a very good glass of wine, Hannah Orenstein’s writing will make you feel like you are.""—Dana Schwartz, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Anatomy: A Love Story ""Every family has secrets, but this father has a whole secret family. Maine Characters is a juicy, escapist read—a grown-up Parent Trap, only with affairs and great wine.""—Jo Piazza, nationally bestselling author of The Sicilian Inheritance “Secrets, sisters, and sunsets combine in this unforgettable family drama. Hannah Orenstein masterfully brings Maine to life in this nuanced, heartfelt story that feels like an endless summer. As juicy and delicious as your favorite chilled white. Think Elin Hilderbrand on a lake... smart, sexy.”—Georgia Clark, author of It Had to be You and Most Wonderful “This book is Orenstein’s best yet! Drenched in family drama with a serene lakeside setting, I gulped down this story about secret half-sisters. Pairs well with a glass of crisp Sancerre savored in a boat going wine speed (iykyk, and if you don’t you will soon!).”—Becca Freeman, author of The Christmas Orphans Club
