In The Girls of Summer, from journalist and former publishing staffer Bishop, 30-plus Rachel still obsesses over the passionate affair she had as a teenager with much older Alistair while enjoying sun and sand on a Greek island, but she’s beginning to realize that there was a dangerously creepy side to the relationship (150,000-copy first printing). In My Magnolia Summer, from the daughter of the late Dorothea Benton Frank, Maggie returns home to Sullivan’s Island, SC, when her grandmother is injured in an accident caused by Maggie’s mother; there, she faces the family’s suddenly upended business, her sister’s about-to-crash relationship, and her own little crash into the back of a good-looking farmer’s truck (100,000-copy first printing). From Gaynor, a Rona Jaffe fellow and senior editor at Literary Hub, The Glow centers on a debt-ridden young PR manager who tries to up her job performance by helping Cass, proprietor of a low-rent wellness center, become the hottest new wellness brand.
