Summer Fridays: A Novel | Suzanne Rindell
13 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
You've Got Mail for a new generation, set in the days of AOL and instant messenger banter, about a freshly engaged editorial assistant who winds up spending her "summer Fridays" with the person she least expects Summer 1999: Twentysomething Sawyer is striving to make it in New York. Between her assistant job in publishing, her secret dreams of becoming a writer, and her upcoming wedding to her college boyfriend, her is plate full. Only one problem: She is facing an incredibly lonely summer as her fianc has been spending longer and longer hours at work . . . with an all-too-close female colleague, Kendra. When Kendra's boyfriend, Nick, invites Sawyer to meet up and compare notes about their suspicions, the meeting goes awry. She finds Nick cocky and cynical, and he finds her stuck in her own head. But then Nick seeks out Sawyer online to apologize, and a friendship develops. Soon, Sawyer's lonely summer takes an unexpected turn. She and Nick begin an unofficial ritualexploring New York City together every summer Friday. From hot dogs on the Staten Island Ferry and Sea Breezes in a muggy East Village bar to swimming at Coney Island, Sawyer feels seen by Nick in a way that surprises her. He pushes her to be braver. To ask for what she wants. Meanwhile, Sawyer draws Nick out of his hard shell, revealing a surprisingly vulnerable side. They both begin living for their Friday afternoons together. But what happens when the summer is over? Summer Fridays is a witty and emotional love letter to New York City that also captures the feeling of being young and starting out, uncertain what to do on your summer Friday. Its also perfect for readers who remember when going online meant tying up the phone line, and the timeless thrill of seeing a certain someones name in your inbox.

This was surprisingly wonderful 💖
I bought it as a deal, not expecting too much, just pleasant escape from our grim reality - and found a fun, well written book full of witty banter, which I love - possibly because I‘m so bad at it 🥴 I loved the atmosphere of NYC in the late nineties, total throwback to that period of time. Another bonus - set in the publishing world. A warning: 9/11 is not a major theme but part of the framework of the story

TheBookgeekFrau I love when a book turns out to be a most pleasant surprise💞 2mo
CoffeeAndABook @TheBookgeekFrau I know right??? It‘s much more frequently the other way around 🥴 so it‘s all the sweeter when you find an unexpected gem 💝 2mo

Left - my Discworld Emporium order arrived, one Librarian for the shelf, one Librarian to keep me company all day

Top middle - making a knitted Tee from leftover yarn, love how the colours come together - addictive

Bottom middle - #BookMail

Right - the teenager made a melon bowl or helmet?

No picture - we bought another watermelon today, kid carried it home and proudly quoted: I carried a watermelon. 🤣🤣
