From author Lindsay Detwiler comes a sweet, beachy romance perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Jane Green, and Debbie Macomber.
They always say you can't go home again, but let me add to that advice. If you do return home to live with your stoic, lawyer father and meddling mother, make sure you're not thirty with a bankrupt business and a failed romance.
At thirty, Mathilda "Tillie" Ashby's life is in shambles. After a failed business attempt in New York City and a deep betrayal, she's forced to return home to Ocean City, Maryland, the beach town she tried to escape. Trying to sort out her next career move and her finances, she finds herself working at a boardwalk restaurant called Tino's and living in her childhood bedroom with her helicopter parents.
When Tillie's life collides with Leo Turner, a UK pop sensation who's hiding from the pressures of fame for the summer, her life might just take a different turn. An injury causes Tillie to slow down, and she'll start to rediscover who she really is. Together, Leo and Tillie escape their difficult pasts as they explore Ocean City together. Will they find new dreams as they build their summer romance-or are their vastly different worlds and past heartbreaks too much to overcome?
A sweet, friends-to-lovers beach read, The Summer Song is a powerful story about how love can help us uncover who we really are.
****PRAISE FOR THE SUMMER SONG******
"I am a sucker for a good rock star/ pop star romance, so I knew I was going to love this book, and the fact that I happened to read this book while on the beach was even better! I thought the author did a great job developing the setting of the novel. It truly felt like I was transported to Ocean City with the characters, even though I have never been there before." ~4-Star Netgalley Review, The Summer Song
"This is a love story as epic and transcending as the moon itself. That's what this story felt like to me: falling in love. But not just the fall; the turmoil, angst, emotional waves, butterflies, excitement, anger, passion, intrigue, enchantment..all feelings that barrel together." ~5-star Netgalley Review, The Summer Song
Genre: Romance
