The Summer Girl 2023

Avalon Bay, Book 3

 This a fun summer beach read with all the necessities: light and easy read, page-turning, sexy and fun novel. This is part of a series which has similar characters but can be read as a stand-alone.

 

The novel’s setting is the beach town of Avalon Bay in North Carolina where affluent people stay to escape for the summer from the chaos of their busy city lives. 

 

The book is narrated by two of the protagonists Cooper Hartley and Mackenzie Cabot. Cooper has a twin brother Evan who also enjoys the summers with the influx of visitors including wealthy students from Garnet. The Hartley twins are infamous for their flirty good looks and hasty hook ups with the visiting tourists. 

 

Cooper works as a bartender at the Riptide a popular bar. Also, a place where wealthy students get sloppy and drunk wielding their influence around. Cooper gets fired one night after a fight with a customer of a wealthy kid. Preston is a pretentious jealous boyfriend of Mackenzie Cabot. They met at the same prep school Spencer Hill and attended the same country club. 

 

Mackenzie soon becomes bored with the pretentious attitude of Preston especially after she catches the attention of Cooper. She doesn’t realize that he is seeking revenge on Cooper for getting him fired by stealing his girlfriend. Of course, this lends itself to chaos when Mackenzie discovers the truth. 

 

There is an interesting storyline aside from the love lorn involving preserving the history of the town and its buildings. This story is the undercurrent which is carried through to the following books providing the tie amongst the characters.
