Life has never been easy for Heddy. She's never met her dad and her mom has struggled to make ends meet while working two jobs. But Heddy is a bookworm and her studying pays off with a scholarship to Wellesley. Until an unfortunate night with a boy threatens to end her scholarship and her days at school.
Thanks to Heddy's roommate she's secured a great job babysitting on Martha's Vineyard. The summer is full of promise and excitement as she meets the islands rich and famous. Heddy hopes the answers to her problems can be found on the island in the form of love or money to finish her senior year.
Heddy soon realizes money and fame don't bring happiness. Behind the smiles and parties the island folk aren't all that they appear. She's got two potential island guys but which one will be the answer to her problems.
At times Summer Darlings seemed predictable and then quickly it wasn't. There were lots of exciting twists and an ending that I never saw coming. I really enjoyed reading Summer Darlings. I read it March during week 1 of self-isolation and it provided a great escape to the beaches of Martha's Vineyard.
