Mallory would choose Jake every time. Emotional and tear-jerking “28 Summers” by Elin Hilderband is a story that is captivating, compelling and all consuming. Based on the classic film Same Time Next Year (which Mallory and Jake watch every summer), 28 Summers explores the agony and romance of a one-weekend-per-year affair and the dramatic ways this relationship complicates and enriches their lives, and the lives of the people they love.

By the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Summer of '69: Their secret love affair has lasted for decades -- but this could be the summer that changes everything. I always knew this was going to be good, but didn't dare to hope it would turn out to be a five star read for me.They make a pact that they'll get together every Labor Day weekend, regardless of their relationship status or whatever is going on in their lives. They don't keep in touch otherwise but they're always in each other's thoughts. Can the rest of their lives move on regardless of this arrangement? What does that mean for the presence of others, the possibility of other relationships, or future plans? Okay. WELL. I don't even really know where to start, since 28 Summers left me with so many conflicting thoughts and feelings that I'm having a hard time disentangling and making sense of them all, leaving me at a total loss for words. Mallory and Fray hook up at Cooper’s wedding and she ends up getting pregnant with Link. What did you think about that? Overall, I loved it! Although the love between Jake and Mallory is a secret, it’s the real deal and so they do ‘fill their cups’ . The setting is wonderful and gives a fairy tale feel to the storytelling and like a lot of fairy tales there isn’t always a happy ending. My guest today is Keith Burnet (@keithaurnet). Keith is a father, husband, executive and former colleague from the fitness industry - a place where I spent more than two decades of my working life. Since beginning this wonderful 28 Summers journey I have discovered some incredibly rich stories of everyday folks doing amazing things all around the world. The deeper I get into this world the more I realise that incredible stories exist all around us, we just need to look for them. Keith is someone that I have admired from afar for many years but never had a deep relationship with. Professional interactions never made way for more meaningful connection and yet, in chatting to Keith recently I realised just how much we are kindred spirits. We share a similar journey and mindset on life and adventure and I feel so grateful to have found this new level of connection with him. Keith has completed the Marathon des sables, rowed the Atlantic Ocean and, later this year, plans to cycle across North America. He has a calm, thoughtful view of the world and I absolutely loved reconnecting with him for this chat

28 Summers Series by Elin Hilderbrand - Goodreads

I've some very mixed feelings about Jake McCloud. I got mad at him a lot of times. Why did he marry Ursula DeGournsey? More than half the time they had nothing in common. To me, he married a memory of a girl that at some point was nice. Make sure to use lots of sunscreen because this beach read is going to keep you glued to your towel! Mallory’s first Labor Day on the island brings guests: her older brother Cooper ( love him!) and his two best friends, Fray and Jake, for a bachelor weekend. A few mini-disasters and a host of selfish behavior find Jake and Mallory finishing off the weekend alone. There’s no denying their chemistry or that their newfound feelings will extend beyond the long weekend. Yet, neither Mallory or Jake is willing to make the compromises necessary to explore the possibility of a relationship. Promising instead, same time, next year, no matter what. On ode to the film Same Time, Next Year, which becomes a part of their annual tradition. Augustus Everett is an acclaimed author of literary fiction. January Andrews writes bestselling romance. When she pens a happily ever after, he kills off his entire cast.

By adultery Summer #3, I grew tired and was just not "getting" why the female protagonist didn't give her lover an ultimatum. In addition, Jake and Mallory have a pact. A phone call telling the other one that a wedding or a child was coming. But, Mallory had to find out about Jake's wedding and child, not by Jake calling her or did I miss it? I started reading 28 Summers by Elin Hilderbrand when it first came out, but put it down for a while since I wasn’t all that into it. Still, I’ve been wanting to read (and finish) at least one of her books since I see them around all the time, so I went ahead and finished it this weekend.
