August Book Club Pick: All the Summers In Between
Is August more than halfway over? Yes. Are we still doing an August book club pick? Also yes.
Summer always seems to fly by, and somehow this month got away from me a little more than usual. To be honest, I still haven’t finished last month’s book, but I’m working on it, so if you’re behind on your reading too, you’re in good company.
I couldn’t let August end without squeezing in one more summer read, though, and All the Summers In Between by Brooke Lea Foster feels like the perfect choice.
About All the Summers In Between
Set in the Hamptons across two summers ten years apart, All the Summers In Between follows Thea and Margot, two unlikely friends who first meet during the summer of 1967.
Margot is wealthy, impulsive, and spending the summer in the Hamptons, while Thea is a hardworking local girl. Despite their differences, the two quickly become close friends.
Then one devastating August night changes everything. After that, they don’t see each other again for ten years, until Margot unexpectedly reappears in Thea’s life in 1977 asking for help, and carrying secrets that could force both women to finally confront what happened in the past.
The story moves between the two timelines as their friendship, choices, marriages, secrets, and complicated history slowly come together.
Why I Chose This Book for August
If we’re going to sneak in a late-August book club pick, it might as well be a book that feels like it’s made for the end of summer. If you have time for another beach day or weekend away, this is the book to take with you. Or, if you’re just hanging out at home planning for back to school, this book is perfect for the moments you get to yourself.
I loved the idea of one last summer story before we start reaching for cozy fall reads. Between the Hamptons setting, two pivotal summers, an old friendship, and a mystery from the past, this sounds like exactly the kind of book I want to read while hanging onto the last few weeks of summer.
It also sounds like there will be plenty to talk about when we’re finished, especially when it comes to friendship, loyalty, trust, and whether some relationships are really meant to follow us into the next chapter of our lives.
Read Along With Me With This August Book Club Pick
So, better late than never, our August book club pick is All the Summers In Between by Brooke Lea Foster. Grab a copy, pour yourself one last summery drink, and read along with me as we close out the season.
If you’re still finishing last month’s book, too? No judgment here. Clearly, neither one of us is alone.
