With the feminist self-discovery of Commencement
and the love triangle of The Graduate,
Summer Hours is a sparkling novel about a secret
affair, the summer it all unravels, and the reunion a decade
later that will be one woman's happy ending or her biggest
mistake. From the author of The Summer
List.
Becc was the good girl. A
dedicated student. Aspiring reporter. Always where she was
supposed to be. Until a secret affair with the charming Cal
one summer in college cost her everything she held dear: her
journalism dreams; her relationship with her best friend,
Eric; and her carefully imagined future.
Now, Becc's
past is back front and center as she travels up the scenic
California coast to a wedding—with a man she hasn't seen in
a decade. As each mile flies by, Becc can't help but feel
the thrilling push and pull of memories, from infinite
nights at beach bonfires and lavish boat parties to secret
movie sessions. But the man beside her is not so eager to
recreate history. And as the events of that heartbreaking
summer come into view, Becc must decide if those dazzling
summer hours they once shared are worth fighting for or if
they're lost forever.
Set in the mid '90s and 2008,
Amy Mason Doan's Summer Hours is a warmly told
novel about the idealism of youth, the seductive power of
nostalgia, and what happens when you realize you haven't
become the person you'd always promised to be.
