Perfect for you if...

  • You love stories about unlikely friendships that shift your perspective on what matters, especially between women at different life stages.
  • You're drawn to feel-good fiction with romantic subplots that don't overshadow the emotional core of personal growth and second chances.
  • You appreciate protagonists who are writers or bookish types, and you enjoy watching them gain confidence in their own voices and choices.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer plot-driven stories with high stakes and conflict, rather than character-focused narratives about self-discovery.
  • You find road trip stories predictable or the 'say yes to everything' premise too simplistic for your reading taste.
  • You want darker, grittier fiction without the warmth and hope that runs through this book from beginning to end.

About this book

Kelsey Worthington, a writer who doubts her own abilities, is hit by a car and wakes up in a hospital room next to Georgina Tate, a prominent New York City businesswoman. The two women are opposites—Kelsey is a dreamer while Georgina is a confident, outspoken executive. When Georgina's failing kidneys force her to confront regrets about how she has lived, both women recognize they share a desire for change. Together, they embark on a road trip where Kelsey begins saying yes to experiences she has previously avoided: eating street food, swimming in the ocean, and matchmaking for Georgina with her handsome son. Along the way, Kelsey also begins writing her own romance, both on the page and in real life. The Summer of Yes features an unlikely female friendship, a slow-burn romance with kisses only, and explores themes of second chances and stepping outside one's comfort zone.
