From Little Stack
This sweet, summery tale of friendship, family, love, and secrets will capture your heart. Laura and Casey were best friends as teens in their hometown, where they spent time lakeside, sharing secrets and embarking on scavenger hunts. But a secret drove them apart, and Casey left town. Now she’s back 17 years later for a scavenger hunt revisiting some of the favorite memories she shared with Laura. But reuniting after their troubled past won’t be easy, as more revelations are in store as these women confront the past and repair their bond with one another.
Laura and Casey were once inseparable: floating on their backs in the sunlit lake, dreaming about the future under starry skies, teaming up for the wild scavenger hunts in their California lakeside town. Until one summer night, when a shocking betrayal sent Laura running through the pines, down the dock, and into a new life, leaving Casey and a first love in her wake.
Now, after seventeen years, Laura is pulled home and into a reunion with Casey she can't resist—one last scavenger hunt. With a twist: this time, the clues lead to the settings of their most cherished summer memories. From glistening Jade Cove to the vintage skating rink, each step they take becomes a bittersweet reminder of the friendship they once shared. But just as the game brings Laura and Casey back together, the clues unravel a stunning secret that threatens to tear them apart.
From the author of Summer Hours and Lady Sunshine, The Summer List is about losing and recapturing the person who understands you best—and the unbreakable bonds of girlhood.
