Publisher's summary

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER!

"A book begging to be read on the beach, with the sun warming the sand and salt in the air: pure escapism."—Kirkus

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery comes a book-about-books story of friends who become family, giving each other courage to start over.

When fate brings three strangers to a charming space for lease on the California coast, the Boardwalk Bookshop is born. Part bookstore, part gift shop, part bakery, it's a dream come true for Bree, Mikki and Ashley. But while their business is thriving, their personal lives are…not.

Bree, wounded by brilliant but cold parents and her late husband's ultimate betrayal, has sworn to protect her heart at all costs. Even from Ashley's brother, a writer and adventurer who has inspired millions. He's the first man to see past Bree's barricades to her true self, which terrifies her. Mikki has this divorce thing all figured out—somehow, she's stayed friends with her ex and her in-laws…until a new man changes how everyone looks at her, and how she sees herself. Meanwhile, Ashley discovers that the love of her life never intends to marry. Can she live without being a wife if it means she can have everything else she's ever wanted?

At sunset every Friday on the beach in front of the Boardwalk Bookshop, the three friends share a champagne toast. As their bond grows closer, they challenge one another to become the best versions of themselves in this heartachingly beautiful story of friendship, sisterhood and the transformative power of love.

Don't miss #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery's latest masterpiece, For the Love of Summer, a captivating story that weaves together the complexities of family, friendship, and unexpected bonds.

Easy to listen.

Easy listen. Lots of characters to keep track of. Not the strongest story Susan Mallery has written but still enjoyable.

Immature

I cannot believe I actually listened to the whole book because these women are so immature for their ages. If they were early 20’s I could understand it. No wonder there are so many relationship issues for them.

Good story but…

Her older books were better. This was a good story, but her books are getting more and more sexually explicit. We’re old enough to use our imaginations and don’t need the graphic details.

Robotic narrator

I can't relax into the narration, the cadence is off, and nearly computer generated sounding. I finished it, but it was a hard go.

sadly disappointed

I was so excited when I bought this book, loving Susan Mallory in the past, but the descriptive talk of sex quickly took away from a great story of friendship. Sadly disappointing and sad I wasted money on a book I splurged on as a treat!
