Summer on Lilac Island

De: Lindsay MacMillan

Narrado por: Kira Fixx

A witty and heartwarming escape about mothers and daughters, small-town dating, and the surprising ways we find our way home.

When Gigi Jenkins finds herself broke, unemployed, and out of options, she has no choice but to return to Mackinac Island, the horse-and-buggy hometown she swore she'd left behind forever.

Living under the same roof with her meddling, divorced mother, Eloise, feels like a recipe for disaster—especially when Eloise hatches a scheme to set Gigi up with the island's charming new doctor.

Determined to call her mother's bluff, Gigi agrees to the date on one condition: she gets to play matchmaker for Eloise in return.

What begins as a battle of wills spirals into a summer of small-town antics, unexpected sparks, and plot twists neither woman saw coming.

But the greatest love story of the summer isn't about romance—it's about the bond between mother and daughter. Through late-night date debriefs, outfit consultations, and learning to laugh (and forgive), Gigi and Eloise begin to bridge years of misunderstanding, moving from adversaries to confidantes.

With Lindsay MacMillan's signature wit and warmth, Summer on Lilac Island is a joyful, tender tale of second chances, new beginnings, and the countless forms love can take.

A Clever, Delightful Read with a Satisfying Twist

I just finished this book and absolutely loved it. The writing was sharp, warm, and engaging from the start—but what really stood out to me was the clever narrative structure. Without giving anything away, there’s a metafictional twist near the end that re-frames the entire story in such a satisfying way. It caught me off guard in the best possible sense and added a whole new layer of meaning. Highly recommend for readers who enjoy smart, emotionally resonant fiction with a bit of narrative playfulness.

Great story

This was my first read from this author and I loved it. Mackinaw Island was described to the tee. It was wonderful.
