For the Love of Summer

For the Love of Summer

Susan Mallery

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery comes an unforgettable tale about finding friendship with the unlikeliest person… As the owner of Twisted, Seattle’s best salons, Erica knows that the sharpest cuts come from the people we love. She’s terrified that she’s losing her teen daughter, Summer, to her “other” family, especially to her stepmom, Allison. All it takes to blow up Allison’s happy life is one collect call. From prison. Her beloved husband, Peter, has been arrested, leaving Allison pregnant, broke, scared and alone with a toddler. But when her stepdaughter ferrets out the truth, the teen rushes to the last person Allison wants to ask for help—her husband’s battle-ax ex. Erica would do anything for Summer, even take in the woman her daughter loves like a second mom. Allison feels intimidated by Erica—a woman who would never let herself become so dependent on a man. But the more time they spend together, the more Allison realizes what Erica truly needs is a friend. Can two women who married the same man move beyond their complicated past and rethink what it means to be family?

    A low stakes story about found family and believing in your worth. If it’s romance you’re looking for, be warned that it’s a very, very small part of the narrative. I’ve read and enjoyed a lot of Susan Mallory and even though this isn’t one of my favorites, I’ll be back for her next release.

    Thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing/MIRA for an ARC. Opinions are my own.
