I don’t have to spell out for you what kind of a book this is. And of course there is romance! Conley is too busy to commit to a relationship, especially with her intentions of leaving home to get back to the big city and big city career, but the guy next door is awfully kind, and he’s a great cook…Īuthor Mary Kay Andrews, Photo by Bill Miles After flipping his car and perishing in the fiery crash it’s discovered he left behind quite a few things including a secret family, warring family members and unexplained large amounts of cash.

With print journalism shrinking further and further The Beacon is suffering, but Conley’s attention is quickly turned a small town scandal: the strange death of a prominent senator. Raised pink metallic lettering on the cover? Perfect.Ĭonley is a young woman with a promising journalism career ahead of her, but when her next job falls through she lands back home in small town Florida, staying with her G’mama and sparring with her older sister Grayson over the future prospects of their family newspaper, “The Beacon”. Looking for a book to relax and enjoy? I recommend using the cover as a clue just looking at this I can feel my blood pressure lowering and a small smile spreading across my face. Hello, Summer by Mary Kay Andrews is a beach read through and through, beginning with the beach pictured on the cover.

I’m trying to reflect this ‘summertime vibe’ in all activities, so reading is an obvious choice to help immerse myself into this too short season. Perhaps it’s because of the pandemic restrictions, but even though it’s only mid-July I’m worried that summer is slipping away without my fully enjoying it, so I’m doing all I can to soak up the sun (covered in sunscreen of course). Lately I’ve felt a desperate, renewed desire to get outside and enjoy the warmer months as best as possible.
