Want to to know what I think will be the "hot" summer reads this year? These two titles due out in just a few weeks absolutely fit the bill! If you'd like to read ahead of the curve, check out one of these!
The High Season, by Judy Blundell. This novel of subtle class warfare on the Long Island Shore is the perfect summer read. Whatever else is going on in Ruth's life, she has "the" house, a beach house in a small, quiet village on the shore. But this year, to afford to keep the house, she's going to have to rent it out, much to the disappointment of her teenage daughter, Jem. Even as they make way for the renters, their town is inundated with the Hampton set and change is coming for everyone, ready or not. Also available in Large Print.
The Perfect Mother, by Aimee Molloy. Already optioned for a film to star Scandal's Kerry Washington, this debut psychological thriller finds the May Mothers, a parenting group, getting together for an adults-only Fourth of July in a Brooklyn bar. But during this particular outing, something goes terribly wrong: one of the babies goes missing from his crib. Single-mom Winnie had been reluctant to leave six-week-old Midas with her fellow May Mother's nanny. Now as the group and the NYPD work to find the missing baby, secrets will out, marriages are tested, and friendships will never be the same. If your brand of summer book keeps you on the edge of your seat, this is a sure thing.
