Publisher's Summary

Rowena Tipton isn't looking for a new life, just a new adventure, something to while away the months as her long-term boyfriend presses pause on their relationship before they become engaged. But when a chance encounter at a New York wedding leads to an audition for a coveted house share in The Hamptons - Manhattan's elite beach scene - suddenly a new life is exactly what she's got.

Stretching before her is a summer with three eclectic housemates, long days on white-sand ocean beaches and parties on gilded tennis courts. But high rewards bring high stakes, and Rowena soon finds herself caught in the crossfire of a vicious intimidation campaign. Alone for the first time in her adult life, she has no one to turn to but a stranger who is everything she doesn't want - but possibly everything she needs.

The Summer Without You is a gorgeously escapist summer listen from the Sunday Times best-selling author of Christmas at Tiffany's, Karen Swan.

Terrible reader

This was entirely ruined by the reader and I couldn’t continue. Awful! If a book requires American accents, why not cast a reader who can do them? This was just painful and I’d get my Audible credit back if I could.

Entertaining

I didn't think I was going to be able to make it through the book in the first couple of chapters the narrators accents for a couple of the characters really grated on me to the point I thought I would have to give up, however I managed to get past the Brooklyn accent and enjoyed the book a lot. Found the ending a bit rushed, but overall loved driving to work each day listening to the story.
