Past novels have included "Summer House," "Surfside Sisters," "Summer Breeze," "Girls of Summer," "The Island House," "A Nantucket Wedding" and "An Island Christmas."

The beloved island is Thayer’s muse, her constant literary setting and a getaway for many of her characters and, at least vicariously, her readers. The setting for friendship, love, drama, reflection and life-altering moments is, of course, Nantucket, where Thayer has lived her own love story with husband Charley Walters for more than three decades, in a house just a five-minute walk outside downtown. The chapters of her new book alternate between two different summers: 1995, when four 22-year-olds end up as housemates in a run-down old hotel undergoing an upgrade and (a non-pandemic) 2020 when the The Sand Palace Four - Nick, Ariel, Sheila and Wyatt - reunite after having gone their separate ways, with their grown children having their own romantic experiences. Nantucket author Nancy Thayer’s latest - and 35th - novel arrives May 3, but it’s already beach season inside the pages of “ Summer Love.”
