Short novel set in MANHATTAN
GIVEAWAY of this Summer’s top beach read: “Big Summer” set in Cape Cod
11th July 2021
Big Summer by Jennifer Weiner is this Summer’s top beach read set in CAPE COD
Yes, and you have spotted correctly! We have TEN – yes, TEN – copies to give away to 10 lucky winners! UK entry only.
Six years after the fight that ended their friendship, Daphne Berg is shocked when Drue Cavanaugh walks back into her life, looking as lovely and successful as ever, with a massive favour to ask. Daphne hasn’t spoken one word to Drue in all this time – she doesn’t even hate-follow her ex-best friend on social media – so when Drue asks if she will be her maid of honour at the society wedding of the summer, Daphne is rightfully speechless.
Drue was always the one who had everything – except the ability to hold onto friends. Meanwhile, Daphne’s no longer the same self-effacing sidekick she was back in high school. She’s built a life that she loves, including a growing career as a plus-size Instagram influencer. Letting glamorous, seductive Drue back into her life is risky, but it comes with an invitation to spend a weekend in a waterfront Cape Cod mansion. When Drue begs and pleads and dangles the prospect of cute single guys, Daphne finds herself powerless as ever to resist her friend’s siren song.

At home in my back garden because it’s quiet, peaceful and safe.
In bed, late at night, a lovely way to end the day
In my garden as the beaches are too busy to be able to concentrate at the moment.
Somewhere on Anglesey. In fact, just about anywhere on Anglesey.
I’d be on Grand Anse Beach in Grenada
I would love to read it sat by the river.
My favourite time of the day is getting into bed and reading before I go to sleep!
On the beach at Benodet in Brittany would be an ideal spot but then again there really is no place like home for peaceful reading time uninterrupted by weather, insects, babies crying, traffic noise etc etc etc!
Relaxing in my favourite chair when home alone!

At home outside in the garden after lunch, with a nice glass of sparkly.

In my garden on the hammock
I’d love to read it in Hawaii
on the balcony of the lodge we’re staying at in Somerset this summer
On my sun lounger in the garden
would love to read this in the garden with a chilled drink
I’m still hoping that the quarantine rules will change and I’ll be able to read this on a run bed in my parent’s garden in France.
In the paddling pool in my back garden – the nearest I’ll be getting to a holiday this summer!
In Elounda, Crete – sat by the sea with a cold beer, some traditional music and without a care in the world 🙂
I would like to read it while relaxing on a cruise ship heading to New Zealand, but I think I will have to settle for the sun lounger in the garden for a little while yet.
Llanddwyn Island
In the Princess hotel in La Palma, sitting around the pool.
On the beach in Sydney where my brother lives. He worries we will never be able to cross the border again and see each other!
I would like to read this, on my swinging seat, in my garden. Very relaxing.
Basking in the sunshine in my garden , book in one hand, wine in the other
In Fiji, where we went on honeymoon!
Well I live by a beach…but it’s a pebbly one (Eastbourne) – I was thinking of the white windswept sand of Varadero on the island of Cuba would do fine!
In my garden – hopefully in sunshine – with a cool glass of wine. No travelling involved – except with my brain!
For me it’s always in bed wrapped up warm with hot tea & cake! Or wine & cake!
I’d love to read Big Summer on Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman. One of my friends moved to the Cayman Islands for work just before the pandemic hit and I’d love to go visit and read this book on the beach while there!
On my lounger in the sunshine in my garden – perfect
The word “mansions” follows me this summer. I would have to make the same choice as the friend. Yes, I will gladly take part in the ceremony while admiring Cape Cod.
In the garden, in the sun,with a long cold drink
Big Summer: Having been to Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard it would be the latter. Martha’s Vineyard is a world apart from summer 2021. I would love to return and absorb this book and this world. And take nothing for granted ever again.

Do you get the feeling I’m longing to go to Vienna again?

I would be reading this in my back yard in my hammock!
I would read Big Summer in my garden, but if it’s raining I would sit on my sofa looking at a picture on the wall of my favourite bay in beautiful Anglesey.
Hello, I would like to read this book in my garden! Thank you for the chance to win.
I would love to read this sitting in the garden in Emmer Green which is near Reading. This is my son’s garden and I haven’t seen him and his lovely wife and sons since the start of lockdown. I do hope to visit soon .
Jennifer Weiner is one of my all time favourite American writers, I love the fantastic sense of place in her books and her larger than life characters.
Ideally, I would be lying on a beach in Croatia! Am missing the Adriatic rather badly!

Definitely in the comfort of my bed before my small one wakes up.
I’d love to read this book sitting in my sunny garden, with a glass of chilled wine and some crisps. Perfect!
