Diana was living the summer of a lifetime. Away for the first time with a new yellow bikini in hand, serving as a mothers helper for a rich family on the Cape. But that summer is a summer she will never forget.
Daisy is struggling with the life she found herself in. She is a mother to an angsty teen who doesn't seem to fit in and the wife to a man who seems to only care about using her skills to take care of him. When she starts receiving emails for another Diana a woman named Diana Starling seemingly living a glamorous life she takes a chance and emails her. The two form a friendship and Daisy starts to realize the things she's unhappy about in life.
But Diana has secrets that have shaped her entire life. That summer has stuck with her and shaped who she is. As she becomes closer to Daisy she regrets the things she might have to do to finally move on from that summer she can't forget.

This was so good, I loved ever single minute of it. It was a little bit of a mystery, a little bit of romance and a little bit chick lit. It was well written and I liked it almost as much as Big Summer. The audiobook was also delightful, Sutton Foster has a perfect voice for audiobooks and I hope she records more in the future.
