“Fantastic. Wistful, mysterious, sparkling with secrets. I raced through Summer Hours in a day!” —Meg Donohue, USA Today–bestselling author
“A dreamy, nostalgic tale full of wisdom and heart. I love this book.” —Andrea Dunlop, author of Women are the Fiercest Creatures
Five summers. A secret love. One sparkling reunion.
Thirty-three-year-old Becc Reardon has tried hard to forget the all-consuming relationship that upended her life one summer in college. But when a mutual friend’s wedding means road-tripping up the California coast with a man from the past, she can’t resist one last chance at a reunion.
From gorgeous beaches to quaint hotels, each stop along the way is a reminder of their memories together—the infinite nights at bonfires, the sneaky midday movie sessions. And soon enough, Becc is happily speeding beside the ocean waves with the funny, adventurous person she used to love and wondering what the future holds beyond the weekend.
But when the pair unexpectedly arrive at the location of their long-ago flameout, old heartbreaks flood back, and Becc will have to decide if those dazzling hours they once shared are worth fighting for before the trip ends and they’re lost forever. This novel that spans from the mid-’90s to 2008 is about love, female coming of age, the power of nostalgia, and what happens when you realize you haven’t become the person you’d always promised to be.
  *Don't miss Lady Sunshine, Amy Mason Doan’s next novel that Elin Hilderbrand calls “a delicious daydream” and Laura Dave calls “a fantastic summer read.” Available now.

      Becca is using her trip to her best friend's wedding as an opportunity. She is a young journalism student and a "good girl" who was always where she was supposed to be, but she made choices that hurt people she cared about. A clandestine affair with an older man had felt so exciting, but led to the loss of everything she thought she wanted?her friends, her scholarship, her future. Now she is driving up the California coast with the man who had once been so dear to her, hoping she can rekindle the friendship they once had. With scenes taking place alternately in the mid-nineties and then in 2008, this moving story paints a portrait of the mistakes we all make in youth and leaves the reader with the hopeful reminder that sometimes the things we're nostalgic for can be had again if we're willing to work for them. A great read for the now grown-up fans of The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants or Judy Blume. The Summer Hours is a perfect summer read.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
