Resumen del Editor

Two sisters reconnect and pursue their dreams on the beautiful island of Nantucket, overcoming life’s challenges and finding new love, in this heartwarming and hopeful novel by New York Times bestselling author Nancy Thayer.

Eddie Grant is happy with her life and her work as a personal assistant to Dinah Lavender, one of the most famous and renowned romance authors in the business. But being a spectator to notoriety and glamour isn’t as fulfilling as she once thought. Thankfully, Eddie has the perfect excuse for a vacation: Her hardworking younger sister, Barrett, is opening her gift shop on Memorial Day weekend, and could use all the help she can get.

But going home to the beautiful island of Nantucket means facing the family’s difficult past. Shortly after the death of Eddie and Barrett’s brother, their mother left them and their father made the spontaneous decision to buy a small farm. Eddie stayed there for only a year before her family’s grief threatened to consume her as well, and had been living in Manhattan ever since. Now that she is back, Eddie must face all she left behind: her father’s increased eccentricities, which has led to a house bursting at the seams with books; her sister’s resentment over Eddie’s escape; and a past love connection, one that is still undeniable and complicated, all these years later. But the Grant sisters are nothing if not resilient and capable, opening a used bookstore in their father’s abandoned barn to manage his hoarding, and navigating the discovery of a long-buried family secret that will change all of them forever.

In The Summer We Started Over, beloved storyteller Nancy Thayer transports readers with a moving story about family, courage, and the resiliency of young women.

Very satisfactory book

This is my second most favorite Nancy Thayer book so far. I love the way everyone's lives become intertwined and they all take such good care of each other. it leaves you feeling in happy ever afters and love conquers all. I enjoyed this very much.

Kindness, peaceful easy stressless read

A little too sappy! Everyone ended up coupled up and it’s not realistic but I guess escapist….

Another Nancy Thayer hit.

Always great stories from Nancy, she makes you feel like your in her characters world.
Loved the Dinah and Dad ending.
Names of daughters a little unusal took awhile to adjust to them but all good.
This book needs a follow up .

Not my favorite

I love this author, but this one didn't appeal to me like her other books.

Predictable…but a nice beach read

Too predictable but it was a nice break from heavy reading material. So it is a good beach read

Wonderful story

I enjoyed this book. It was wonderfully written and performed. I would recommend it to others. I look forward to listening to more books by this author.

Loved this book!

Just finished listening to the great book and I am so sad it is over. I was so involved with the characters and feel like I could completely visualize them walking around Nantucket. Highly recommend!

It’s never too late.

Loved the way even everyone thought hope was lost it wasn’t. Made me believe again AND want to visit Nantucket.

Highly recommend

I dream of visiting Nantucket and enjoyed reading about this area. Nancy Thayer’s book do not disappoint. Great characters, good performance and a nice escape to the beach.

Zero stars?

This is horrible - the storyline is very bizarre. The narration is not there at all. Ugh.

There are way too many odd things in this story that does not make sense. The author boss that can’t function without her assistant - the parent that hoards books thinking they still teach - the mother that does not want to be a mother. I had to stop listening nothing made sense and I don’t want to wait for the end of the confusion. No thanks. Hope audible gives me my credit back.
