'An ambitious, immersive novel from the author of In Her Shoes' Red
Magazine 'Engrossing' Sunday Mirror 'If you have time for only one
book this summer, pick this one' The New York Times
____________________________ From the No.1 New York Times
bestselling author of Big Summer comes another timely and
deliciously twisty novel of intrigue, secrets, and the
transformative power of female friendship. Daisy Shoemaker can't
sleep. With a thriving cooking business, full schedule of volunteer
work, and a beautiful home in the Philadelphia suburbs, she should
be content. But her teenage daughter can be a handful, her husband
can be distant, her work can feel trivial, and she has lots of
acquaintances, but no real friends. Still, Daisy knows she's got it
good. So why is she up all night? While Daisy tries to identify the
root of her dissatisfaction, she's also receiving misdirected
emails meant for a woman named Diana Starling, whose email address
is just one punctuation mark away from her own. While Daisy's
driving carpools, Diana is chairing meetings. While Daisy's making
dinner, Diana's making plans to reorganize corporations. Diana's
glamorous, sophisticated, single-lady life is miles away from
Daisy's simpler existence. When an apology leads to an invitation,
the two women meet and become friends. But, as they get closer, we
learn that their connection was not completely accidental. Who IS
this other woman, and what does she want with Daisy? From the
manicured Main Line of Philadelphia to the wild landscape of the
Outer Cape, written with Jennifer Weiner's signature wit and sharp
observations, That Summer is a story about surviving our pasts,
confronting our futures, and the sustaining bonds of friendship.
