Summer Wilde is a wannabe country music star. But when her latest girl band abandons her in a motel outside Tulsa, she is forced to face the shadows of her past.

Twenty years ago, the summer of '77 was supposed to be the best summer of her life. She and her best friends, Spring, Autumn, and Snow—the Four Seasons, 4ever—had big plans.

But those plans never had a chance. After a teenage prank gone awry, the Seasons found themselves on a bus to Tumbleweed, "Nowhere," Oklahoma, to spend eight weeks as camp counselors. Arriving with hidden secrets and buried fears, those two months changed their friendships and the course of their lives.

Now, thirty-something and with no direction for her future, Summer is at a crossroads. Returning to the place where everything changed, she soon learns Tumbleweed is more than a town she left and never wanted to see again. It's the place for healing, for reconciling the past with the present, and for finally listening to love's voice. Celebrating the songs of our hearts, the joys of love, and the threads of friendship that tie us all together, New York Times bestselling author Rachel Hauck's radiant story perfectly captures all the romance, heartache, and hope of the best summer ever.

This emotional recap of 4 friends’ summer and subsequent 20 years apart will be one you return to whenever you want to feel the overwhelming power of love at work. Told from dual perspectives (1977 and 1997) each voice adds a different perspective on shared circumstances. Fantastic narrator for a wonderful, hope filled story!

The Best Summer of Our Lives was a great read by Rachel Hauck. The summer of 1977 was supposed to be the best summer of Summer Wilde's life. Summer and her best friends, Spring, Autumn, and Snow (also known as the Four Seasons) had big plans. That summer a teenage prank went awry and they ound themselves on a bus to Tumbleweed, Oklahoma. They were to spend eight weeks as camp counselors. The events of that summer changed their friendships, lives, and futures forever. Now twenty years later, Summer is at a crossroads. Her latest girl band left her in a motel outside Tulsa which leads her to facing her past. She must return to the place that changed everything. I enjoyed reading this book and cant wait to read more by the author.

The only thing that would make it better would be to listen to the lyrics of the songs with music.
