Daisy Shoemaker can't sleep. With a thriving cooking business, full schedule of volunteer work, and a beautiful home in the Philadelphia suburbs, she should be content. But her teenage daughter can be a handful, her husband can be distant, her work can feel trivial, and she has lots of acquaintances, but no real friends. Still, Daisy knows she's got it good. So why is she up all night? While Daisy tries to identify the root of her dissatisfaction, she's also receiving misdirected emails meant for a woman named Diana Starling, whose email address is just one punctuation mark away from her own. While Daisy's driving carpools, Diana is chairing meetings. While Daisy's making dinner, Diana's making plans to reorganize corporations. Diana's glamorous, sophisticated, single-lady life is miles away from Daisy's simpler existence. When an apology leads to an invitation, the two women meet and become friends. But, as they get closer, we learn that their connection was not completely accidental. Who IS this other woman, and what does she want with Daisy? From the manicured Main Line of Philadelphia to the wild landscape of the Outer Cape, written with Jennifer Weiner's signature wit and sharp observations, That Summer is a story about surviving our pasts, confronting our futures, and the sustaining bonds of friendship.Product IdentifiersPublisherAtria BooksISBN-101501133543ISBN-139781501133541eBay Product ID (ePID)10050388420Product Key FeaturesBook TitleThat Summer : a NovelAuthorJennifer WeinerFormatHardcoverLanguageEnglishTopicContemporary Women, Family Life, LiteraryPublication Year2021GenreFictionNumber of Pages432 PagesDimensionsItem Length9in.Item Height1.2in.Item Width6in.Item Weight20.9 OzAdditional Product FeaturesReviewsJennifer Weiner's beachy books are basically a staple of the season, and this is no exception.
