Publisher's summary

The "queen of beach reads” (New York Magazine) presents nine captivating stories of summer on Nantucket—and days that last forever—to carry us through when those warm sandy days feel far off.

Inside the collection, you'll find:

• Three years after Mallory Blessing's death (in 28 Summers), her friends gather for another eventful Labor Day celebration on Nantucket in "The Sixth Wedding."

• The marriage at the heart of Beautiful Day enters uncertain territory when Margot Carmichael encourages her husband to reunite with his ex-girlfriend in "The Surfing Lesson."

• In "The Tailgate" the weekend of a Harvard/Yale football game recharts the course of "Matchmaker" Dabney Kimball's first—and abiding—true love.

• In "Summer of '79," the three Levin sisters reunite after a decade after the summer that changed everything.

• And more . . .

With a foreword by Elin Hilderbrand about the writer's reluctance to leave treasured characters behind and a prefatory, "behind-the-scenes" note included with each story, this book answers the prayers of both new and seasoned listeners everywhere who, like the Kirkus reviewer, "would rather be living in an Elin Hilderbrand novel."

Not sure about this one!

I got lost on the story line more than once. I finished it because I started it but was a mess throughout just trying to keep up!

I needed Summer of '89

what a wonderful close to the chapter of the "summer of" series. THANK YOU, ELIN, for allowing us to read your work.

Wonderful addition

I enjoyed Endless Summer. I have read most of the books these additional stories go with.

Surprised at how much I liked

wasn't real thrilled about buying a book of stories. Although I love Elin's books always i was skeptical, I could not put it down and did not want it to end. She never disappoints that's the way I feel about every book I've ever read by Elin. always a fresh approach and a great story. Don't ever stop please😁

Not a standalone book

I wish I would have known that this is not a standalone book. Her writing is great, but this format is not my favorite.

Fun but…..

I love Elin’s books! I was a bit disappointed that there was some redundancy with stories I’d already heard. But fun nonetheless.

Another excellent story and performance!

I love how Elin Hilderbrand crafts her character development so that eventually even her most flawed individuals have my sympathy and support. She has a special ability to portray each person with traits of universal ability to relate ~ hopes and fears, triumphs and tragedies, insecurities and points of pride in achievement. The foibles that make us human, and the moments of greatness in rising above those faults of character ~ reveal a window of insight into what it is to be human, to suffer, strive and grow. This is just part of the genius of this author’s work. Not to mention entertaining and engaging ~ thank you for another great book! Now if only I had an editor to clean up my grammar and composition!😂

Love Elin

What a fabulous concept for a "book"...I still wanted more about my favorites from Elin. Loved 28 Summers and Summer of '69 sequels.

Great preview

The stories stand alone well. This was a great way to preview other titles by the author. The narrator was great as well.
