Summer Island: A Novel
✨ Editor’s Crush — Reasons You’ll Love ItIn Summer Island, Kristin Hannah takes a seemingly simple setup—a famous “perfect” radio advice host, the angry daughter who’s built a whole comedy routine out of hating her, and one scandal that blows everything up—and turns it into an aching, funny, sea-salt soft story about forgiveness. When a tabloid exposes Nora’s long-buried secret and a car accident sends her career crashing down, Ruby returns home under false pretenses, planning to write a brutal tell-all about the mother who walked out on her. Instead, on a small island in Washington State, in the weathered house where she once felt safe, Ruby stumbles back into first love, old friendships, and the messy, painful truth about what really happened in her family.If you love emotional family dramas, complicated mother–daughter bonds, and stories where characters are deeply flawed but stubbornly lovable, this feels like a warm, slightly bittersweet summer evening in book form. It’s about secrets, abandonment, the cost of fame, and that terrifying, beautiful moment when you finally see your parents not as villains or heroes, but as human—and decide whether you’re brave enough to forgive.
