Summer Hours

"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 She Regrets Nothing

Vividly told and unforgettable, Summer Hours is a sweeping story charting a secret relationship, the summer it unravels, and the sparkling reunion a decade later...

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. Set in the mid '90s and 2008, Summer Hours 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.
