Claire Danner Crispin, mother of four young children and nationally renowned glassblower, bites off more than she can chew when she agrees to co-chair the Nantucket's Children Summer Gala. Claire is asked to chair the benefit, in part, because she is the former high school sweetheart of rock star Max West. Max agrees to play the gala and it looks like smooth sailing for Claire-until she promises a "museum-quality" piece of glass for the auction, offers her best friend the catering job, goes nose-to-nose with her Manhattan socialite co-chair, and begins a "good-hearted" affair with the charity's Executive Director, Lockhart Dixon.
Hearts break and emotions are pushed to the limit in this riveting story of one woman's attempt to deal with loves past and present, family, business, and high-powered social pressures. Elin Hilderbrand's unique understanding of the joys and longings that animate women's lives will make this her newest summer bestseller.

A Summer Affair
A Summer Affair was a good enough read but not one of my favorites by this author. It was a page turner but not because it was THAT GOOD but because I was apprehensive about where the story was going to go and to find out what was going to be the final outcome.
I was having a hard time relating to the main character, Claire, a mother of 4 and wife to a husband that seems absolutely wonderful with his only downfall being that he watches a little too much TV rather than talk to her. I couldn't find it in me to root for her character. I just wanted to shake her and say what are you doing you crazy woman? The affair seemed contrived and unrealistic. I found it odd that they were together for almost a year and yet her husband never got suspicious at all.
I did adore the best friend/sister in law character and felt bad for her in regards to certain aspects of her life. The Matthew "Max" West part of the story was a sweet tribute to her childhood and first love and I did enjoy that aspect of the story also. Overall, I wouldn't overly recommend this book. The writing was very good, but the story, not so much. Many times I finish a book wanting more, wishing that there was another book about the same characters so I can see what happens next in their lives, but with A Summer Affair I could care less I just wanted it to end. However, it did end very abruptly. I expected an epilogue or something since there were several loose ends - what happened to Gavin - did he blow the whistle on Lock? What about Siobhan and Carter - did they work things out? I just wanted a little closure on the characters. Elin Hilderbrand has a lot of great novels this just isn't one of my favorites or one of her best. Happy reading my friends and happiest of holidays to you all!
