The Summer Getaway by Susan Mallery Book Summary

*AN INSTANT BESTSELLER!*

"The perfect escape for readers wanting to get away."—Booklist

One woman takes the vacation of a lifetime in this poignant and heartwarming story about the threads that hold a family together from #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery.

Single mom Robyn Caldwell needs a new plan for her future.  She has always put her family first.  Now, with her kids grown, she yearns for a change. But what can she do when her daughter has become the most demanding bride ever, her son won’t even consider college, her best friend is on the brink of marital disaster and her ex is making a monumentally bad decision that could ruin everything?

Take a vacation, of course. Press reset. When her great-aunt Lillian invites her to Santa Barbara for the summer, Robyn hops on the first plane to sunny California.

But it’s hard to get away when you’re the heart of the family. One by one, everyone she loves follows her across the country. Somehow, their baggage doesn’t feel as heavy in the sun-drenched, mishmash mansion. The more time Robyn spends with free-spirited Lillian, the more possibilities she sees—for dreams, love, family. She can have everything she ever wanted, if only she can muster the courage to take a chance on herself.
 
Don't miss New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery's heartwarming summer novel, The Summer Book Club, where conversations over a glass of wine turns into something much more in this journey of motherhood, friendship and love.

Great Book!. As always I love this book! A Susan Mallery book is always a favorite.

Starts a bit slow. It was a bit predictable, and the characters were not very inviting In the beginning, but Mason kept me interested. Predictable but sweet ending, good for a light read.

What a ride. Susan Mallery has only gotten better. This story made me think, feel, cry and mourn while falling in love. This story has something that everyone can relate to. Getting to see Robyn and Mason get their HEA while dealing with so much drama in a short time frame is fabulous.

Delightful. I absolutely adored this book! Robyn was a delightful character and the calm in everyone else’s storm. She’s level headed and caring, although a bit self-sacrificing at times. Her relationship with her children is wonderful, even if they…okay, just Harlow…are not at times. I won’t comment on all the people in the book, but will say that Lillian was my favorite. She was spunky, kind and extremely honest. She reminded me of my grandmother, minus the cocktail hour! She was written in such a way that I felt her personality throughout the pages of the book. Not to leave out Mason, either. I loved the relationship between not only he and Robyn, but his fondness for Lillian, as well as Robyn’s childhood. He’s a good, solid man. That may sound a bit stiff and possibly boring, but I think it’s what every woman, or man, deserves. One last thing I wanted to mention. Lillian’s house. Ms. Mallory’s description brought it to life for me. I’ve always had a fascination with the Winchester house in San Jose, which is compared to Lillian’s sprawling, sometimes confusing mansion in the book. I’ve always wanted to visit it. And now, I feel like I have, just a bit.

The Summer Getaway. In The Summer Getaway Susan Mallery again tells an emotional story of a family going through changes. Robyn travels across country to visit her aunt to decide what changes she wants to make. Everyone in her life follows her. The new man in her life helps Robyn decide the changes that are best for her. Her children also make life changing decisions

An enjoyable story. Every time I pick up a Susan Mallery book I know I’m going to be entertained for a few hours and The Summer Getaway is no exception. This book has an engaging storyline, likable characters, humor, and a lot of other emotions

The Summer Getaway. Such a great book, from the beginning to the end. I absolutely loved it.

Super Fun Read. Love the story line and all the characters. Kept me interested the whole time

Cannot finish it. It has taken me weeks to get almost halfway. But I think I’m going to give up and accept the fact that I lost money on it. The story is repetitive. Not really moving forward. And it’s not at all romantic. Just trashy.

Loved it!. The Summer Getaway was such a fun read. I loved Robyn, instead of focusing on issues in her life negatively she figured out a new plan to make herself happy. This book was also FUNNY! Plus it had a good dose of romance mixed in with family drama. Another winner by Susan Mallery I received this ARC free from the author. The review was voluntary. The opinions my own.

A Great Beach Read!. Susan Mallery is spot on when writing about how complicated family relationships can be and how they can affect their adult children. This time she writes about the ins and out of divorce, complicated relationships, self discovery, how choices you make affect others, and second chances. Robyn, a single, divorced mom, has a son Austin who is 18 and daughter Harlow who is newly engaged. Both kids work for their father at his charter boat company. Robyn and Mindy are friends who work together at Mindy’s antique shop. Robyn’s life is falling apart, Mindy is making personal life decisions Robyn doesn’t agree with, Robyn has a boyfriend who is not right for her, and she is doing a lot of fighting with Harlow over her wedding planning. Lillian, Robyn’s great-aunt, invites her California, to spend time with her as Lillian tells Robyn she won’t be around forever. Robyn breaks up with her boyfriend and takes her up on the invite, in order to regroup. Will this be the trip she gets clarity and figures out which direction she wants to go in life? A great beach read that will keep you entertained through all the heartaches, lies, deceitful intentions, and romance. I loved how this author included a chicken recipe along with the discussion questions as a lot of chicken was eaten in this book!

Not enjoyable. I didn’t think this book was great. I didn’t enjoy reading it. Wish it could be better

Friends & Family. Great read! This book has it all - family, friendships, and romance. Great motivating book to look at yourself and the chances and choices you take and make. Many twists and turns to keep the reader engaged. Couldn’t put it down and was sad when it was done.

Love the family dynamics and drama!. Susan Mallery is amazing at capturing how real families and their drama can affect lives. The dynamics feel so real. You can picture the hurt and love in the characters. I love that her books aren’t only about romance but family. Her characters learn and grow throughout the book. Great summer read! (And I love the cover!)

Love it!. The Summer Getaway is another winner from Ms Mallery. She has a knack for bringing you right into the family and Robyn is the center/heart of hers. You get ALL the feels in this one. Well worth the read and it will show you why so many people love Susan Mallery and why she is one of my favorites! Make sure you have plenty of time when you sit down and open this book because you will not want to put it down!!
