Synopsis

In this “intense and beautifully written tale of complex female friendship” (Rhys Bowen, New York Times bestselling author), two estranged friends are unexpected reunited in the Hamptons, forcing them to finally confront the terrible event that drove them apart.

When wealthy, impulsive Margot meets hardworking and steady Thea in the summer of 1967, the unlikely pair become fast friends, working alongside one another in a record store and spending every spare moment together. But after an unspeakable incident on one devastating August night, they don’t see one another for ten years…until Margot suddenly reappears in Thea’s life, begging for help and harboring more than one dangerous secret. Thea can’t bring herself to refuse her beloved friend—but she also knows she can’t fully trust her either.

Unfulfilled as a housewife, Thea enjoys the dazzling sense of adventure Margot brings to her life, but will the truth of what happened to them that fateful summer ruin everything? Testing the boundaries of how far she’ll go for a friend, Thea is forced to reckon with her uncertain future while trying to decide if some friends are meant to remain in the past.

Set in the dual timelines of 1967 and 1977, All the Summers In Between is at once “a taut, dynamic examination” (Lynda Cohen Loigman, author of The Wartime Sisters) of a complex friendship, a delicious glimpse into a bygone Hamptons, and a powerful coming-of-age story of two young women during a transformative era. You’ll want to “make room in your beach bag for this mesmerizing book” (Patti Callahan Henry, New York Times bestselling author).

Goodreads review by Meagan on June 08, 2024

Zero substance. Not a fun beach read at all. Big sister trauma storyline that is so exhausted in the literary world. Even though it was set in the 1970’s, you really couldn’t feel it in the writing.......more

Brooke Lea Foster’s ALL THE SUMMERS IN BETWEEN is a taut, dynamic examination of friendship, marriage, and the inescapable consequences of who we choose to trust and love.

Thank you NetGalley and Gallery Books for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. I have...mixed feelings about this book. I was very intrigued going into it - the promise of a split time line between friends, and the air of mystery of what happened between them all those years ago caught my eye.......more

Goodreads review by Christine on March 26, 2024

I thought that this would be a light fun summer read and I was wrong. Have you ever known a person who seems to say and do all the right things but yet there’s something off? That is how I felt reading about the friendship between Thea, a married mother of 1 who is a year round resident of a beach c......more
