Summer at Oyster Bay is the perfect, feel-good summer romance, about the importance of home and family, learning what love is, and living in the here and now.

They say falling in love is easy. But what if you know it’ll break your heart?

For Emily Tate, returning to her charming childhood home Oyster Bay is like coming up for air after the fast pace of her city life. At the farm her grandfather built, surrounded by sister Rachel’s chatter, Gram’s butter biscuits and the soft, white sand, Emily is reminded exactly who she is and what she holds most dear.

When Emily starts work at elegant Water’s Edge Inn, Charles Peterson, the handsome new owner, asks for her help. He wants to expand and needs Emily to teach him the local ways, so he can convince the planning commission. Emily vows to make him fall in love with her hometown, just the way it is.

At work, Charles is reserved and serious, yet once Emily has him kicking off his shoes in the sand and sailing across glistening Chesapeake Bay, she sees another side to him, and their easy rapport feels like the start of something big.

But when it becomes clear Charles’s plans for the inn involve bulldozing Oyster Bay, Emily is heartbroken. Will she lose her home and Charles all at once, or can she save Oyster Bay, and give true love a chance?

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific
Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2023

For some of us, this will be a bit of a tear jerker, especially for those, like myself, who have experienced loss, depending on how they handle it. It looks at the question of how loss might be handled. Does one need the things or the memories or maybe both. I definitely could relate to this story and the love story within is terrific. How much is one willing to do in order to really show love. It is also about the willingness to compromise, put the other person first always. I stayed up late into the night reading this one. This story is the love story of not only Emily and Charlie but also Emily's sister, Rachel, and Jeff and even Emily's grandmother and grandfather. It is beautiful.

This was like my mother's peach cobbler with homemade vanilla ice cream. All of the children in Jenny's books are the cutest as she captures every little detail about them. That is how she writes by capturing every little detail. You feel like you can see and feel being there.
This is yet another book of hers that kept me awake longer than I should have allowed but you just don’t want to stop reading. I’m not writing about the summary of the book but about how her books make you feel…just wonderful.
Just ordered the next book, The Summer House.

Summer at Oyster Bay is the perfect summer read! The small town in the Chesapeake Bay area is the perfect setting for this light-hearted, summer read!

This is the third book I've read by Jenny Hale, and I'm quickly becoming a big fan. She has such a way of creating dynamic relationships between characters. But the best part is the focus isn't solely on romantic relationships, but also on ones between family members and friends, which makes all of her characters so relatable.

Make sure Summer at Oyster Bay is on your summer reading list this year!

This is a great story. Everything comes out perfect in the end just like we want it to. This story is a good one for a teen or someone who needs to have hope that all will be well. My life has just not been that picture perfect.

I enjoyed this so much that i didn't want it to end. It was a lovely story, a breath of fresh air - a total feel good book.
Oyster Bay is such a dreamy location with gorgeous little features that will leave you wanting to explore, move in and never leave. I loved the characters i met, the ups and downs of their lives.
It's truly a really gorgeous, entertaining novel packed full of romantic gestures that will put a smile on your face. It's ideal escapism, beautifully written. Great work, Jenny.

Hale is a constant for me when I want something light and uncomplicated. She keeps the same tone in most of her books, and I personally like knowing what to expect. She's a go-to author for me when I'm in need of charming scenery and casual characters. Sometimes, I just don't want to be too angst driven or beaten up by plots. Life is too serious as it is, and Jenny Hale gives me a comfortable dose of reality and entertainment. I'm already eager for next summer's beach read from her.

I didn't want to put my kindle down once I'd started reading. Whilst somewhat predictable, Summer at Oyster Bay was a thoroughly enjoyable holiday read. I downloaded Summer by the Sea and Love Me for Me as soon as I'd finished and now just have to decide which one to read first.
