Summer on the Bluffs by Sunny Hostin Book Summary
New York Times Bestseller!
The View cohost and New York Times bestselling author Sunny Hostin dazzles with this brilliant novel about a life-changing summer along the beaches of Martha's Vineyard.
Welcome to Oak Bluffs, the most exclusive Black beach community in the country. Known for its gingerbread Victorian-style houses and modern architectural marvels, this picturesque town hugging the sea is a mecca for the crème de la crème of Black society—where Michelle and Barack Obama vacation and Meghan Markle has shopped for a house for her mom. Black people have lived in this pretty slip of the Vineyard since the 1600s and began buying property in the 1800s, making this posh town the embodiment of “old money.”
Thirty years ago, Amelia Vaux Tanner and her husband built a house high on the bluffs, a cottage they named Chateau Laveau. For decades, “Ama” played host to American presidents, Wall Street titans, and cultural icons. But her favorite guests have always been her three “goddaughters:” Esperanza “Perry” Soto, a beautiful, talented Afro-Latina lawyer with Ama’s strong, yet guarded personality; Olivia Jones, a gifted Wall Street analyst with Ama’s brilliant, logical mind; and Billie Hayden, a gifted marine biologist and rule-breaker with Ama’s courageous free spirit.
Growing up, these three goddaughters from different backgrounds came together each summer at Chateau Laveau. As adults, the cottage is a place this trio of successful yet very different women go to escape, to slow down from their hectic lives, share private time with Ama, and enjoy the gorgeous weather, cool water, and stunning views Oak Bluffs offers.
This summer on the Bluffs, however, will be different. An era is ending: Ama, now nearing seventy-one, is moving to the south of France to reunite with her college sweetheart. She has invited Perry, Olivia, and Billie to spend one last golden summer together with her the way they did when they were kids. And when fall comes, she is going to give the house to one of them.
Each of the women wants the house desperately. Each is grappling with a secret she fears will hurt her and her chances. By the end of summer, old ties will fray, new bonds will be created, and these three found sisters will discover they aren’t the only ones with something to hide. Ama has a few secrets of her own. What she has to give them is far more than property. Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, she will tell these surrogate daughters she fiercely loves and protects everything they never knew they needed to know.

Great read!. I absolutely loved this book! All of the characters were multi-dimensional and I loved the mix of drama and romance! This book absolutely provides the literary escapism that Sunny promised and I can’t wait to read the other two books in the trilogy!
Finally got through it….. Beyond pretentious…..having to drop name brands for everything got in the way of the story.
Easy Read. This book was easy to read. And, the outcome was not predictable. You know there are secrets but no clue as to what those secrets are.
Love this book. Great fun read
Beautifully told story. This is the first book I’ve read by Sunny Hostin and I was really impressed with this book. Summer on the Bluffs is centered around Amelia “Ama” and her three goddaughters, Perry, Olivia, and Billie. Amelia has asked them all to spend the summer at her house on Oak Bluffs and at the end of the summer, one of them will get the keys to it. All three women want the house for different reasons. All four women are keeping secrets from each other and the goddaughters are afraid their secrets will hurt their chances of being the chosen one. As the summer season ends, the secrets start being revealed and there’s angst, hurt feelings, and feelings of betrayal. I won’t leave any spoilers, but I will say the goddaughter I wanted to get the house was the lucky recipient. I received an advanced reader copy of this book from the publisher and this is my voluntary and honest review.
Unreadable. Trite drivel; it’s clear after only a few pages that character development is lacking and the plot is flat, predictable and over-dramatized. In fairness to the author, one might reasonably expect some of this feedback to have been provided by the editor. Not good by any standard; don’t waste your money or your time.
Awful. Trite and poorly written
Love this book!!!. I loved this book! A great beach, airplane, pool read. The type of novel I have loved for over 55 years! Great escape. Really got involved in the outcome of the ladies. Hope to see it as a movie or mini-series. Even Hallmark.
Nice try. It seemed a little pretentious and the story had to wind around every problem society is facing today.
Special Read. A special treasure and great summer read for me. My deceased husband and I vacationed on Martha’s Vineyard for a week and this awakened some of those special memories. The story line was infectious and gave you insight on how more alike than not, we as humans are no matter what our ancestry happens to be.
Ok Read. Enjoyed reading the descriptions of Martha’s Vineyard
