A Novel Summer

Shelby Archer embarks on a whirlwind book tour for her new novel, Secrets of Summer. Her first stop is Provincetown, Cape Cod, where she’s spent every summer since college. What better place to launch her tour with old friends by her side. But the welcome she receives is frosty at best, especially from her pal Hunter. Hunter is convinced that the lead character in Shelby’s new novel is based on her, a betrayal of their trust and friendship. While Shelby tries to mend their rift, Colleen, the third in their trio, asks for Shelby’s help; can Shelby run Colleen’s family book shop through the summer while Colleen deals with complications from her pregnancy? Shelby agrees, hoping this will buy her time to mend fences with Hunter and perhaps get the three friends back together. Soon Shelby realizes that mending their broken friendship might come with too high of a price tag. When she asks Colleen to read her second novel before publication, the gap between the three friends widens.
