Description
"The perfect summer beach read! Rival bookshops, second chance romance, friend drama, it was the perfect book to curl up and escape to the Cape."--Pamela Kelley, bestselling author of Bookshop by the Bay
A bestselling author finds love and second chances in the stacks of a quaint beach town bookshop
Author Shelby Archer found inspiration for her first novel while living on the picturesque shores of Provincetown on Cape Cod. When she comes to the town to celebrate her new bestseller, she is expecting a warm homecoming. But instead she is confronted with the cold shoulders of friends and neighbors who feel exposed and betrayed.
Heartbroken, Shelby tries to move on and focus on her next novel. But then an unexpected call comes: her dear friend who owns the beloved Land's End bookshop needs help for the summer. Shelby reluctantly returns to the Cape to manage the store.
Back at the beach, Shelby sets her focus on the tiny seaside shop, getting lost in the shelves of steamy romance novels and dusty classics and trying to right the wrongs of her past. With every page turned and every customer served, Shelby comes closer to gaining back the trust of those she hurt. But as her manuscript deadline nears, she is again forced to choose between her own success and a second chance at love and belonging.

Rival bookshops, second chance romance, friend drama, it was the perfect book to curl up and escape to the Cape." --Pamela Kelley, bestselling author of Bookshop by the Bay "Pack this book in your beach bag! Jamie Brenner's A Novel Summer is compulsively readable, hooking you from the first page with characters so real it feels like they're sitting next to you. A Novel Summer follows three friends in bustling Cape Cod who reunite after a few summers apart, and is a testament to deep enduring friendship and second chances. An absolute delight! --Brooke Lea Foster, author of On Gin Lane "The spectacular Jamie Brenner brings us the world of books in a rich, satisfying and surprising summer read. A Novel Summer unfolds on the shores of picturesque Provincetown and the sandy beaches of the Cape where Shelby Archer discovers her success and fame as a novelist came at a price. When Shelby renews ties with old friends and takes a job at the Land's End Bookshop, she is determined to heal old wounds and find new dreams in the worlds that unfold on the shelves. A glorious read." --Adriana Trigiani, bestselling author of The Good Left Undone "A Novel Summer deftly navigates the fine line between fiction and real life, friendship and success, childhood and adulthood, and how books connect us.

I'm recommending it to everyone I know!" --Kristy Woodson Harvey, New York Times bestselling author of The Summer of Songbirds "Brenner's latest escape to the Cape, told through the eyes of three best friends--an author, an editor, and a bookseller--is not to be missed!" --Jane L.
