The Summer List

By: Amy Mason Doan

Narrated by: Sarah Naughton, Kate Rudd

A tender yet tantalizing novel about two friends, the summer night they fell apart, and the scavenger hunt that reunites them decades later—until the clues expose a breathtaking secret...

Named a Best Book of Summer by PopSugar, Coastal Living, Family Circle, and The Globe & Mail

Laura and Casey were once inseparable: as they floated on their backs in the sunlit lake, as they dreamed about the future under starry skies, and as they teamed up for the wild scavenger hunts in their small California lakeside town. Until one summer night, when a shocking betrayal sent Laura running through the pines, down the dock, and into a new life, leaving Casey and a first love in her wake.

But the past is impossible to escape, and now, after seventeen years away, Laura is pulled home and into a reunion with Casey she can’t resist—one last scavenger hunt. With a twist: this time, the list of clues leads to the settings of their most cherished summer memories. From glistening Jade Cove to the vintage skating rink, each step they take becomes a bittersweet reminder of the friendship they once shared. But just as the game brings Laura and Casey back together, the clues unravel a stunning secret that threatens to tear them apart…

Mesmerizing and unforgettable, Amy Mason Doan’s The Summer List is about losing and recapturing the person who understands you best—and the unbreakable bonds of girlhood.

The Summer List

Struggling to continue listening to it.
Narrator is fine. The book just hasn't really got me interested.

It finally clicked!

The narrator was wonderful! The laughing spots. The dramatic spots. Alexandra's voice. Thoroughly enjoyed listening to the narrator read this beautiful story of friendship.

Kept me enthralled

The story was interesting and believable and unpredictable, which I enjoyed. Plus, I love Kate Rudd as a narrator.

A little slow at times

I really liked the story; although, it was a little slow at times. It made it a bit difficult to continue. But, it definitely got better as it went. I’m glad I finished it and really liked it overall.

The narrator had a chapter where she used the “wrong voices” for the characters that she had already established. She accidentally swapped them. I had to listen to that part several times to understand who was saying what. Most of the time, the voices were distinguishable, but definite moments where it slipped. It happened throughout.

Good story

This was a nice summer read. It didn't grip me right from the start, but gained momentum as the story went on.
