Genre: Family Life
From The Publisher:
As the owner of Twisted, Seattle’s best salons, Erica knows that the sharpest cuts come from the people we love. She’s terrified that she’s losing her teen daughter, Summer, to her “other” family, especially to her stepmom, Allison.
All it takes to blow up Allison’s happy life is one collect call. From prison. Her beloved husband, Peter, has been arrested, leaving Allison pregnant, broke, scared and alone with a toddler. But when her stepdaughter ferrets out the truth, the teen rushes to the last person Allison wants to ask for help—her husband’s battle-ax ex.
Erica would do anything for Summer, even take in the woman her daughter loves like a second mom. Allison feels intimidated by Erica—a woman who would never let herself become so dependent on a man. But the more time they spend together, the more Allison realizes what Erica truly needs is a friend. Can two women who married the same man move beyond their complicated past and rethink what it means to be family?
Why I Can’t Wait To Read For The Love Of Summer:
Susan Mallery is an auto-read author for me. I love her ability to write heartwarming stories about relationships between women and this one certainly has an intriguing synopsis.

Have a fantastic Wednesday, Jodie. I am heading out again today for another short getaway. I know, right? We made up our minds just yesterday, so we are going up to Michigan to New Buffalo. It’s an old-fashioned town with a casino 😂 and cute little shops and restaurants. Have an excellent rest of your week and weekend, my friend! 🤗

Enjoy your getaway Jody and I hope you make lots of wonderful memories!

Sounds good and I know I’m being picky, but if he just got arrested, he would be calling from jail. Probably only an issue because my husband works in corrections. Haha. Hope you love it.

Thank you. I’m reading this book now and he actually does call from “jail” Barb!

I haven’t read her books yet, but I do have a couple of her backlist books on my e-reader, waiting their turn. Susan Mallery’s books always sound so good! And this one is no exception. I hope you love For the Love of Summer when you read it!
