About this item
Hannah McKinnon, acclaimed author of the “charming and warm-hearted” The Summer House, returns with a fresh beach read about a group of outsiders threatening the status quo at an exclusive New England beach club.
Mayhaven, tucked away between old cedars and a spring-fed lake, has long been the ultimate escape to understated exclusivity in Massachusetts. For Darcy Birch, it's supposed to be the best summer of her life, but a few obstacles are standing in her way. Her high-strung mother hovers incessantly, her father is consumed by his role as president of Mayhaven—where Darcy works as a summer camp counselor—and her neurodivergent little brother struggles for independence, adding strain to the family dynamic.
The real disruption comes with the arrival of the new neighbors. Flick Creevy, his mother, and stepfather have parked their enormous RV in the Birches’ perfectly landscaped backyard, bringing with them all-night music and clouds of marijuana.
Flick, uninterested in the idyllic summer or the girl next door, is reluctantly working at Mayhaven, pushed by his mother who dreams of a new life for their family. As he experiences the world of the upper crust, Flick sees the stark division between the inside and the outside of Mayhaven's social circle.
As the summer heat rises, tensions at Mayhaven reach a boiling point. In this sharply written and refreshing novel, McKinnon explores the clash between old and new, inclusion and exclusion, in a narrative perfect for fans of Elin Hilderbrand and Jennifer Weiner. ❤️📚❤️
