About this listen

A chance run-in with a college boyfriend puts a young woman's picture-perfect life in perspective in this warm-hearted and lyrical novel from the author of The Lake Season.

Since finishing graduate school, Maggie Griffin has worked hard to build an enviable life in Boston. She's an elementary school teacher in a tony Boston suburb, a devoted sister, and a loving aunt. With her childhood best friend's wedding quickly approaching and her own relationship blossoming, this is the summer she has been waiting for.

But when Maggie's career is suddenly in jeopardy, her life begins to unravel. Stricken, Maggie returns home to seaside Mystic, Connecticut, where she expects to find comfort in family and familiarity. Instead, she runs into Cameron Wilder, a young man from her past who has also returned home, and whose life has taken a turn that puts Maggie's city struggles in harsh perspective. When tragedy strikes for Cameron, Maggie is faced with big decisions as she weighs what matters most and strives to stay true to the person she's become.

Set against the gorgeous backdrop of a New England summer when past and present collide, Mystic Summer is a gorgeous novel about looking back, moving forward, and the beauty that blooms when fate intervenes.

Critic reviews

"Amy McFadden narrates from Maggie's point of view in the light, practical tone of a woman who thinks she has life figured out. Making the story easy to follow, McFadden provides a variety of accents for Maggie's Boston friends and co-workers, as well as her family back home in Mystic, Connecticut.... Mystic Summer captures the magic of summer, and McFadden's narration is spot-on." ( AudioFile)

Love again

I love hearing Any McFadden read, perform, narrate through the twists of the story.
Her voice is sweet and calming to listen to.
The story was a little to get back into, after a day or so. But a small rewind or catch up, and smooth sailing.

No

Maybe I’ve just listened to too many romances and expect a bigger impact of the love on the book or something, but I just did not feel it. The book did not convince me that the right couple ended up together…in fact so liked the other guy better. Did not love it.

Easy listen, but hard to listen

The book itself was easy to follow and was not very complex in its characters or development. The reader was difficult to listen to at times, a mid-west(?) nasally-sounding voice with rolled “rs” which can bother some, I know. No offense meant to the reader- she did great, her accent/voice just may be difficult to listen to for some.

Loved it!

I usually listen to psychological thrillers so this was different for me and I loved it! I couldn’t stop listening! It was cute, down to earth, relatable, and refreshing

Great summer listen.

The story is sweet and not too over the top. I love the unseemingly relationship is the focus of the story.
