A deliciously funny, remarkably poignant âbeach read to end all beach readsâ (Entertainment Weekly) about the power of friendship, the lure of frenemies, and the importance of making peace with yourself through all of lifeâs ups and downsâfrom the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Good in Bed and Best Friends Forever.
Six years after the fight that ended their friendship, Daphne Berg is shocked when Drue Cavanaugh walks back into her life, looking as lovely and successful as ever, with a massive favor to ask. Daphne hasnât spoken one word to Drue in all this timeâshe doesnât even hate-follow her ex-best friend on social mediaâso when Drue asks if she will be her maid-of-honor at the society wedding of the summer, Daphne is rightfully speechless.
Drue was always the one who had everythingâexcept the ability to hold onto friends. Meanwhile, Daphneâs no longer the same self-effacing sidekick she was back in high school. Sheâs built a life that she loves, including a growing career as a plus-size Instagram influencer. Letting glamorous, seductive Drue back into her life is risky, but it comes with an invitation to spend a weekend in a waterfront Cape Cod mansion. When Drue begs and pleads and dangles the prospect of cute single guys, Daphne finds herself powerless as ever to resist her friendâs siren song.
A sparkling, âinsightful page-turnerâ (Real Simple) about the complexities of female relationships, the pitfalls of living out loud and online, and the resilience of the human heart, Big Summer is a witty, moving story about family, friendship, and figuring out what matters most.
