PopSugar Best Summer Reads!
Thrilled that THE SUMMER LIST is on PopSugar’s summer reading list: Best New Books to Put in Your Beach Bag.
“Two childhood friends — once inseparable, now estranged — meet 17 years later. Can an invitation to a grownup scavenger hunt, one of their favorite activities from childhood, bring them back to where they once were? The Summer List is a sparkling debut novel filled with nostalgia that will make you long for your childhood friends and carefree summer days.”

Book Club Reader’s Guide
Choosing your book club titles for summer? I hope you’ll consider the THE SUMMER LIST. With relatable themes (rekindled girlhood friendship, mothers & daughters, first love), a summery lakeside setting, and twisty scavenger hunt plot, I think it’d make an excellent pick.
Here are some discussion questions to get you started—The Summer List_Reader’s Guide (spoiler alert).
I love to talk to book clubs, so please reach out if you’re interested in an in-person or Skype visit.
