Synopsis

Hailed as one of America’s most insightful and inventive storytellers, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jacquelyn Mitchard now takes listeners on a breathtaking journey of suspense and high adventure.

Back in high school, Tracy, Olivia, and Holly were known as The Godmothers, the girls everyone wanted to be and know. Unlike many friendships, their bond survived the years. Now twenty years later, their glamorous leader, Olivia, whose wealthy Italian husband has died, suggests they reunite on her return to the United States with a luxury sailboat crossing in the Caribbean. With Tracy’s college-aged daughter and an attentive two-man crew, they sail into paradise.

But then, the smallest mistake triggers a series of devastating events. Suddenly, in a desperate fight for survival, the women battle the elements, the threat of modern-day piracy, and their own frailties. STILL SUMMER is at once a spellbinding adventure and a story about the bonds that hold friend to friend and mothers to daughters, and how facing our own mortality tests the truth of everything we think we know.

Goodreads review by Patty on September 01, 2012

I've met the author of this book and she's a nice person but I'm afraid my review is lukewarm at best. I really liked Deep End of the Ocean and haven't read anything else she's written except her column in the local paper. This book gets off to a slow start.

Goodreads review by Jo on June 24, 2010

Wow, I really had to stick with this. I wasn't particularly sympathetic to these characters. But they were caught in circumstances beyond their control and that I could respect. I will never take a vacation on a small sailboat. And what was the obsession with the can opener? It read more as a screen......more

Pleasure cruise goes horribly wrong. Mitchard definitely has a way of making the reader think and feel emotions.......more

Goodreads review by Cynthia on July 21, 2020

In all fairness, I wish I hadn’t read the reviews before I read this book. This is the story of three former high school chums who book a vacation aboard a small cruise vessel. The author does provide in depth peeks into the history of the chums and their respective families and community entangleme......more
