A gripping story from the number one bestselling author
"I am in AWE of Jane Green." Marian Keyes
June, 1998. At twenty-seven, Cat Coombs is struggling. She lives in London, works as a journalist, and parties hard. When she discovers the identity of the father she never knew she had, it sends her into a spiral. She makes mistakes that cost her the budding friendship of the only women who have ever welcomed her. And nothing is ever the same after that.
June, 2014. Cat's life has come full circle. She wants to make amends to those she has hurt. Her quest takes her to Nantucket, the gorgeous New England island where the women she once called family still live. What Cat doesn't realize is that these women, her real father's daughters, have secrets of their own. As the past collides with the present, Cat must confront the darkest things in her own life and uncover the depths of someone's need for revenge.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Like the best kind of dramatic film, Summer Secrets has you hanging on every word and spinning through a kaleidoscope of strong emotions. Bestselling author Jane Green’s 17th novel revolves around Londoner Cat: divorcee, journalist and raging alcoholic. Shifting between past and present, the story unpacks Cat’s story piece by piece, connecting her self-destructive choices and turmoil to her upbringing—and a jarring secret her mother has kept from her for decades. We loved the real-world romance between Cat and fellow recovering addict Jason and were gut-punched by the obstacles standing in their way.
