"When two roads diverge...take the one that leads to the beach! Hannah McKinnon delivers a charming gem of a novel in Mystic Summer. I adored this book." —Elin Hilderbrand, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Rumor

A chance run-in with a college boyfriend puts a young woman's picture-perfect life in perspective in this warm-hearted and lyrical novel—from the author of The Lake Season.
Since finishing graduate school, Maggie Griffin has worked hard to build an enviable life in Boston. She's an elementary school teacher in a tony Boston suburb, a devoted sister, and a loving aunt. With her childhood best friend's wedding quickly approaching and her own relationship blossoming, this is the summer she has been waiting for.

But when Maggie's career is suddenly in jeopardy, her life begins to unravel. Stricken, Maggie returns home to seaside Mystic, Connecticut, where she expects to find comfort in family and familiarity. Instead, she runs into Cameron Wilder, a young man from her past who has also returned home, and whose life has taken a turn that puts Maggie's city struggles in harsh perspective. When tragedy strikes for Cameron, Maggie is faced with big decisions as she weighs what matters most and strives to stay true to the person she's become.

Set against the gorgeous backdrop of a New England summer when past and present collide, Mystic Summer is a gorgeous novel about looking back, moving forward, and the beauty that blooms when fate intervenes.

      Maggie Griffin is content with her life in Boston. She teaches at a private day school, and she and her actor boyfriend Evan seem fully committed. However, the wedding preparations for her best friend Erika mark a turning point. Maggie's friends are getting married, buying houses, and getting ready to have babies. When Maggie's job is threatened, Evan is paired with a hot model in his TV show, and Erika's plans for a ceremony in Boston are thrown into turmoil. It's time for Maggie to reevaluate her situation. Perhaps returning home to Mystic, CT, for the wedding and comfort time will help. Instead, Maggie becomes even more confused when she runs into her high school sweetheart Cameron, who now owns a business and is a father. Suddenly, Maggie finds being in Mystic more appealing than Boston. VERDICT McKinnon's second novel (after The Lake Season) features characters who must look past short-term happiness to build a future. New adults and women's fiction fans will find this book appealing. It's a novel for twentysomethings facing major decisions including love, marriage, first apartments, jobs, houses, and the decision whether or not to have children.--Lesa Holstine, Evansville Vanderburgh P.L., IN
