From Mary Kay Andrews To You
Mary Kay Andrews' New York Times bestselling summer hit, SUMMER RENTAL, about three best friends spending a month together in North Carolina’s Outer Banks is soon to be out in paperback.
The author wanted to take a minute to tell all of the amazing librarians out there (ie: you!) a little bit more about this great beach read in case you missed it in hardcover.
Take it away, Mary Kay!
Dear Librarians:
The promise of a month spent at a rambling old beach house with your lifelong best friends? Who wouldn’t jump at the chance? SUMMER RENTAL is the story of three women, best friends since parochial school days in Savannah, who find themselves, in their mid-thirties, at the crossroads of life and love. A month in North Carolina’s Outer Banks is just what they need. Joined by Ty, their gorgeous but enigmatic landlord, and Maryn, a stranger trying to out-run her past, the women find themselves on a journey that will uncover all their secrets, and maybe, point them on the path to forgiveness. I hope your patrons will enjoy reading SUMMER RENTAL as much as I enjoyed writing it.
All my best,
Mary Kay Andrews
SUMMER RENTAL will be available in paperback in May from St. Martin's Griffin. And her next fair weather hit, SPRING FEVER, will be available in hardcover in June from St. Martin's Press.

Library Journal highlighted SUMMER RENTAL in their "Women's Summer Fiction" section and gave it a big orange star. Their review reads, "Andrews (THE FIXER-UPPER) is at her warm and funny best with this story of three girlfriends who rent a beach cottage on North Carolina’s Outer Banks. A month of fun, frolicking, romance, and self-discovery ensues, while the arrival of a fourth roommate ratchets up the drama. Andrews simply excels at creating the kind of characters readers can relate to, and she has a fabulous sense of humor to boot. For all women’s fiction fans, especially those who enjoy ensemble fiction."
Publishers Weekly says, "This warm weather treat has a lot going for it, not least the sunny forecast that summer love can blossom into a four-season commitment."
