Publisher's summary

A woman’s second act on the beautiful island of Nantucket delivers much more than she expected in this hopeful novel by New York Times bestselling author Nancy Thayer.

Heather Willette has a good life in Concord, Massachusetts—complete with a husband who runs his own business and a son to take up his mantle one day. But now that her marriage has fizzled out and Ross, her only child, is graduating from college and getting serious with his girlfriend, Heather wonders if that life is the one she really wants. Ready to seek out her own happiness and discover herself again, Heather decides to leave her husband and rent a cottage on Nantucket. And her plan is going perfectly—until Ross announces he’s moving to Nantucket to work at his girlfriend’s family’s construction business instead of going back home to work with his own father, like he'd promised. Worst of all for Heather, this means having to get along with her.

Kailee Essex is thrilled that Ross is willing to move to her hometown. She has big hopes for their happily ever after, especially now that her parents are finally showing interest in her career. She’s less thrilled, however, about his mother living nearby. Kailee has clashed with Heather since the day they met. But anything is possible in the summer sun and sea breezes of Nantucket—even reconciliation. And when change comes sooner than either Heather or Kailee expect, they must learn to overcome their differences to fight for the future they want.

With All the Days of Summer, beloved storyteller Nancy Thayer delivers a moving novel that explores the complexity of family and the unexpected ways fate can guide you forward.

Narrator Ruined It!!!

I think the story was a cute beach read but the narrator sucked the life out of enjoying the storyline.

Good story

I liked the story itself. Good story line. But the narrator was hard to listen to.

Narrater ruined this story; Difficult to listen to

I am a fan of Nancy and her books. And although the book itself it great; The Narrater ruined the story and made it extremely difficult to listen to and to get through.

Very entertaining, great narration.

I don't get all the complaints about Cassandra Campbells narration. She's a pretty popular narrator so why all the surprise. And she is a great narrator. Every narrator has their own style and her style fits Nancy Thayers stories nicely.
Apart from that, Kayleigh is a pretty spoiled little brat, I will admit.

Life changing experiences aren’t always bad.

Good easy read/listen. Narrator was good for me but a lot of nasty comments about her were left. I thought she was perfect with the whiny brat who was every mom’s nightmare girl for their son’s to marry. Heathers husband was a total jerk and I would have divorced him years before. I loved her moving to Nantucket and thought her new life would be a dream. It’s a great summer sit by the pool listen.
I love all her books and reading them is a no brainer you don’t have to read reviews or even what it’s about they are good books. I love that I can listen to them and not have to worry if anyone else can hear. No sex or bad language so safe to listen outside on speaker while doing yard work or lounging in pool and dreaming I’m in Nantucket.

Enjoyable

I enjoyed this book very much. Felt real and heart warming. I have liked all of Nancy Thayer’s books I have read or listened to.

Loved this.

I like the story very much. I love the way the author describes things such as food weather, everything.

Best of Nancy’s books

Loved this story and the characters. One of the best that Nancy has written. Be sure to read it.

Island life

This book is good overall. Characters good, a bit sappy in sports. Story keeps you entertained.

Great story

Loved the characters, all their personalities and imperfections. I only wish that Kaylie had her baby before the book ended
