Publisher's summary
"Mallery beautifully illustrates the power of female friendship and the importance of reaching for one's dreams."—Publishers Weekly
Beloved bestselling author Susan Mallery brings listeners an emotional, witty, and heartfelt story that explores the nuances of a broken family’s complex emotions as they strive to become whole in this uplifting story of human frailty and resilience.
Finley McGowan is determined that the niece she’s raising will always feel loved and wanted. Unlike how she felt after her mom left to pursue a dream of stardom, and when the grandfather who was left to raise them abandoned her and her sister, Sloane, when they needed him most. Finley reacted to her chaotic childhood by walking the straight and narrow—nose down, work hard, follow the rules.
Sloane went the other way.
Now Sloane is back, as beautiful and as damaged as ever…and she wants a relationship with her daughter. She says she’s changed, but Finley’s heart has been burned once too often for her to trust easily. But is her reluctance to forgive really about Sloane or worry over losing what she loves the most? With the help of a man who knows all too well how messy families can be, Finley will learn there’s joy in surrendering and peace in letting go.
Don't miss #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery's latest masterpiece, For the Love of Summer, a captivating story that weaves together the complexities of family, friendship, and unexpected bonds.

Story
Once upon a time, when her dad married Sage’s mom, Daisy was thrilled to get a bright and shiny new sister. But Sage was beautiful and popular, everything Daisy was not, and she made sure Daisy knew it. Sage didn't have Daisy's smarts—she had to go back a grade to enroll in the fancy rich-kid school. So she used her popularity as a weapon, putting Daisy down to elevate herself. After the divorce, the stepsisters' rivalry continued until the final, improbable straw: Daisy married Sage's first love, and Sage fled California.

It’s the summer of 1994, and all Maeve Murray wants are good final exam results so she can earn her ticket out of the wee Northern Irish town she has grown up in during the Troubles—away from her crowded home, the silence and sadness surrounding her sister’s death, and most of all, away from the simmering violence of her divided community. And as a first step, Maeve’s taken a summer job in a local shirt factory working alongside Protestants with her best friends, kind, innocent Caroline Jackson and privileged and clever Aoife O’Neill.

Victorian London was notorious for its pickpockets. But in the country houses of the elite, gentleman burglars, art thieves and con men preyed on the rich and titled. Wealthy victims—with their pride and reputation at stake—would never go to the police. What they needed was a society insider, one of their own, a person of discretion and finely tuned powers of observation.

Family Rocks
This was one of the best Susan Mallory books I've read to date. I was swept up with the alcoholism and the betrayal of the 2 sisters and how they interacted with this disease in between them. I love the fact that there was a romance but it was on the sidelines and not the focal point of the story. I also really love the narrators in the audiobook and thought that it really added something emotions flies to the book. I would definitely recommend this to anybody that loves women's fiction

A great sister read
A great book about family and the bonds with have with others. Finley and Sloane are two very different people but they are also sisters. I loved how Susan Mallery captured the complicated relationship. Both sisters had some soul searching and romance throughout the book. I could not put it down and highly recommend it. It is not always sunshine and rainbows but neither is real life. This book is honest and fun. Five stars!!

The best part of a cancelled flight
I loved this book. My international flight was canceled and this was a life saver. Susan Mallery writes the best books that makes you feel anything is possible when bad things happen
Now that I am home I am listening it again so my emotions do not cloud the wonderful writing.
Another book that I make sure I have the prong, ebook and audible version so I always have it handy

Loved this story
First 1/3, I was getting annoyed with the angry sister, but kept powering through and I’m so glad that I did. I knew it would only be a matter of time before things turned around. What a lovely story and I learned more than I knew before about alcoholism.
As always, Tanya Eby did an excellent job narrating!

Family is important. Help needed
This was not only about sisters but brothers. Family is important and we have to daily start over with some people. It's complicated.

This book was just ok
Completely predictable but entertaining enough. The only thing that didn't jive with me was that Aubrey wasn't believable as human child. Verbal, thoughtful, full of empathy, critical thinking...doesn't sound like any 8 year old I've ever met.
