For the Love of Summer
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery comes an unforgettable beach read about the unbreakable bond between mothers and daughters and finding friendship with the unlikeliest person, perfect for fans of Elin Hilderbrand and Emily Giffin...

As the owner of Twisted, Seattle's best salons, Erica knows that the sharpest cuts come from the people we love. She's terrified that she's losing her teen daughter, Summer, to her “other” family, especially to her stepmom, Allison.

All it takes to blow up Allison's happy life is one collect call. From prison. Her beloved husband, Peter, has been arrested, leaving Allison pregnant, broke, scared and alone with a toddler. But when her stepdaughter ferrets out the truth, the teen rushes to the last person Allison wants to ask for help-her husband's battle-ax ex.

Erica would do anything for Summer, even take in the woman her daughter loves like a second mom. Allison feels intimidated by Erica-a woman who would never let herself become so dependent on a man. But the more time they spend together, the more Allison realizes what Erica truly needs is a friend. Can two women who married the same man move beyond their complicated past and rethink what it means to be family?

Don't miss Susan Mallery's newest joyful and utterly irresistible holiday tale, One Big Happy Family, about a mother who couldn't love her kids more hopes that, just this once, they don't come for Christmas.

Editorial Reviews

JULY 2024 - AudioFile

Narrator Tanya Eby tells the story of Erica; her 17-year-old daughter, Summer; and Erica's ex-husband Peter's pregnant wife, Allison. When Peter ends up in jail, Allison is left with a toddler and no money. As Summer pleads with her mother to rescue Allison, Eby captures Summer's youthful exuberance and her mother's controlling personality. Allison is younger than Erica, and Eby reflects that in her narration as well as Allison's exhaustion as she struggles to cope with Peter's betrayal. As Erica and Allison grow closer, Eby gives Allison a new-found strength and softens Erica's tone. Eby will have listeners rooting for all three women as they come together to form a new family.
