Summer After Summer

Praise

Praise for Summer After Summer:
“Impressive debut . . . The cutthroat world of pro tennis and the glitz of the Hamptons create a fascinating backdrop for these multilayered characters.”
—Publishers Weekly

“[Readers] will rejoice when their HEA is reached.”
—Booklist

“Sometimes the boy you meet the summer you turn sixteen just might be the one . . . A charming story of tennis dreams, a beloved beach house in the Hamptons, and second chances, Summer After Summer is a romantic, delightful read.” 
—Heather Webb, USA Today bestselling author of Strangers in the Night

“This book is going to be a hit next summer because it’s an absolutely perfect summer read. Olivia and Fred keep swinging into each other’s orbits, but fate is meddlesome and for some inexplicable reason or another, the timing is never right for these two. They obviously love each other deeply, but their flaws, fears, and circumstances intervene summer after summer. It’s all the hearts: breaking, wrenching, and warming. And that twist! It’s subtly woven throughout the narrative and makes for quite a dramatic ending. Retellings can be hit or miss, but for me, this modern-day retelling of Persuasion is fully on the mark. A wonderfully plotted, fast, romantic read I found thoroughly entertaining and engaging.”
—Kerry Lonsdale, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Side Trip and Everything We Keep

“An excellent going-home novel full of absorbing characters, twists you’ll never see coming, and page after page of fantastic writing. Smart, wonderfully plotted, and entertaining from start to finish, you won’t want to put it down.”
—Matthew Norman, bestselling author of Charm City Rocks

“Lauren Bailey has written a romantic comedy that has everything I love in a book: a strong, independent heroine with a funny best friend, a sexy hero, another sexy hero, secrets, a great house, and plenty of twists and turns you won’t see coming. Do yourself a favor and clear your calendar before you read it: you’re not going to want to put it down. Summer After Summer is a real winner!”
—Maddie Dawson, bestselling author of Matchmaking for Beginners and Snap Out of It

“Summer After Summer is an irresistible romp of a novel that asks the question: can you really ever go home again? And if you do, is it possible to escape your past? One thing is for sure: you won’t want to miss this gem of a book.” 
—Liz Fenton & Lisa Steinke, authors of Forever Hold Your Peace
