This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
A Hundred Summers
Publication Date: May 30
From Amazon:
Memorial Day, 1938: New York socialite Lily Dane has just returned with her family to the idyllic oceanfront community of Seaview, Rhode Island, expecting another placid summer season among the familiar traditions and friendships that sustained her after heartbreak.
That is, until Greenwalds decide to take up residence in Seaview.
Nick and Budgie Greenwald are an unwelcome specter from Lily’s past: her former best friend and her former fiancé, now recently married—an event that set off a wildfire of gossip among the elite of Seaview, who have summered together for generations. Budgie’s arrival to restore her family’s old house puts her once more in the center of the community’s social scene, and she insinuates herself back into Lily's friendship with an overpowering talent for seduction...and an alluring acquaintance from their college days, Yankees pitcher Graham Pendleton. But the ties that bind Lily to Nick are too strong and intricate to ignore, and the two are drawn back into long-buried dreams, despite their uneasy secrets and many emotional obligations.
Under the scorching summer sun, the unexpected truth of Budgie and Nick’s marriage bubbles to the surface, and as a cataclysmic hurricane barrels unseen up the Atlantic and into New England, Lily and Nick must confront an emotional cyclone of their own, which will change their worlds forever.

This one sounds pretty good. I don't think I've read anything based in the 30's though.
Great pick - I love the cover and the pre-WWII-ness. Thanks for sharing.

Woah that sounds complicated. The blurb bit about Budgie "seducing" Lily back into their friendship was a weird choice of words O_o
Looks like a good love triangle (square?)!

I love that cover - it looks so peaceful but I guess from the summary that things are far from that.
This one sounds pretty good! I love historical settings and parts of the description almost reminds me of Gatsby. Should be interesting!
Another newbie! Good pick.
