This is my first book by Jenny Blackhurst and I’m a fan! The book starts with Claire traveling all the way from UK to US, into the paradise called Martha’s Vineyard since her sister, Holly, hasn’t been responding to her or her cousins call for a few days until they got a really random text from Holly that definitely couldn’t have been written by Holly. Everyone at Martha’s Vineyard seems so welcoming and helpful but no one has any idea where Holly is, other than information that Holly was working for a really creepy playboy Carl who was always hitting on Holly and had a jealous wife, she was dating one of the Slayton boys who practically had the reputation of getting away with anything. The more time Claire spent at the island the more she falls in love with the island but she cannot rest till she finds her little sister. And thus begins her search.
I finished this book in one sitting. I practically devoured it and couldn’t stop reading till the very end. The book is told in multiple POVs both past and present till the mystery is solved. There were twists and reveals till the very last page. All the loose ends were tied up very well.
Definitely going to start reading more book by Jenny Blackhurst.
Thanks to Netgalley and Canelo publishing for an arc of this book for my honest opinion!

Jenny blackhurst is one of my fave thriller type readers and was excited to get this one to read on NetGalley ! Thriller read addictive and page turning !!! Loved it

Thanks to netgalley for providing this advanced copy for the purpose of review.

This was a decent suspenseful thriller. It was well paced with good characterisation.

I thoroughly enjoyed THE SUMMER GIRL. Written from the perspective of a sister desperately trying to find her lost sister, the tense emotion of desperation to find her alive carries the novel forward in a marvellously compelling way! I was gripped and the writer has such a brilliant way with words, I couldn't put the novel down.

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for this e-ARC. I really enjoy Jenny Blackhursts novels and this one was no different. I really enjoyed the setting and the storyline and didn't see the twist coming!

The Summer girl is a great story about a missing sister, and the investigation around it. Well written and fast paced, I highly enjoyed this!

A very good just one more chapter read that leaves you unable to put aside to continue your daily life...

Thank you to Netgalley for this arc

The Summer Girl, by Jenny Blackhurst, will have you wanting more as you navigate the twists and turns of this fast-paced thriller. Claire's younger sister, Holly, makes the decision to leave her home in the UK and live abroad in Martha's Vineyard for the summer. Holly takes a job at the local marina and is having a blast meeting new friends and even some potential love interests. Things take a turn when Claire, Holly's older sister, hasn't heard from Holly and begins to worry. Claire decides to make the trip to Massachusetts to ensure her sister is okay, but quickly discovers that her little sister has disappeared without a trace. Told from both of the girl's perspectives, this book was the perfect summer read. I highly recommend you pick this thriller up if you want a great book to add to your summer vacation.

Thank you to Canelo, Jenny Blackhurst and #NetGalley for the ARC and opportunity to read and review this book!

for me it was a mindfck and a really good one at that. i wont say that the plot wasn't unpredictable but i at the same time i dont have anything bad to say about this one. it was more about how you feel as a reader after reading this than the storyline actually making you feel things. i don't think the previous line makes any sense but iykyk. after i finished all i could think about was how money and power without the sense of responsibility and common sensibility can change your mind into a dark and evil place. this book was real. too real imo. it is true that people do not speak up even for themselves let alone be someone else if its mean they'll going up against someone in power which ends up hurting and sabotaging too many lives that could've been so easily avoided had the people grown a tad bit of backbone.

No one cares about the girl who is gone missing because she was just a summer girl. But her sister knows something is very wrong and as she digs into things, it emerges her sister is not the first to go missing. a good and gripping read

This book is the perfect end to the summer season!

The mysterious disappearance of a girl, the search for truth, death, suspicion - all this against the backdrop of a beautiful resort island.
The story has a dual timeline - one sister tells us about the days leading up to her disappearance and another one tells us about her search for her sister.

I really liked it!

I would like to thank #NetGalley #Canelo and the author #JennyBlackhurst for my ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book was incredible!! I actually wanted to skip to the end not because it was a bad book but because I really wanted to know what happened to Holly and why! I found the mix between Claire telling the present story and Holly telling the story to the lead up of her disappearance to be very engaging and kept me reading to find out what exactly happened. I had so many theories of where the story would go but never would I have imagined the ending to be what it was.

An incredible read!

Thanks to Netgalley and Canelo for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Claire's sister Holly took off from the UK to spend the summer in Martha's Vineyard after their mother's died of cancer. Now Claire can't reach Holly and hasn't heard from her in days, so she flies to Martha's Vineyard to make sure Holly is ok. Once there, she learns that Holly hasn't been seen in days, the police aren't taking it seriously as a disappearance and Holly had been hanging around a couple of brothers from a rich family that have a bad reputation.

This was an enjoyable read from Jenny Blackhurst, as all of her books tend to be. There were a number of characters that could have been guilty and there was a twist near the end that was unexpected. A good read that I never got bored with. Looking forward to her next offering.

I have read previous books by this author and have thoroughly enjoyed them and this was another winner for me.I like this author’s style….. easy to read and to follow with no over fussy descriptions and I found I was racing through it. The story is told from the point of view of both sisters, Holly and Claire, the former being the younger sister who heads off to Martha’s Vineyard for the summer and who then disappears and Claire who goes searching for her. It is a very relatable story with quite a few red herrings. I did get a bit confused near the end as to what was actually happening but it certainly was not the ending I expected!

This is the latest psychological thriller by Jenny Blackhurst and it did not disappoint. Told from both Claire and Holly's perspective I found this book gripping and thrilling. This was an easy read and kept me thinking the whole time, so many twists and turns throughout. This book is full of sorrow, taking you through each stage of loss and grief. A brilliant read!

This was a quick, easy read. It’s definitely a good one to read if you’ve been in a reading slump. It was a bit predictable, and I probably would t re-read, but overall I liked it.

This was a quick and easy read but I found it a bit predictable. Loved the setting of the book and the descriptions of the scenery

I was gifted this advance copy in exchange for my honest review from NetGalley.
This is the first book I have read by this author and I will be reading more! I was hooked and had to know more! I honestly probably would have read this alot faster if I wasn't working so much. This would be a book I could read in one setting if I was given the time to do so. Every chapter left you wanting to know more, try to piece the puzzle together. I really enjoyed this book and will now be reading more by this author. 😀

I didn't love this one. I felt myself walking away feeling unsatisfied. I felt like a lot of information was repetitive overkill. Also, I know the narrator is from the UK but there was so much in the dialogue that didn't fit and it bothered me.

Claire's little sister, Holly, has decided to head to Martha's Vineyard to work for the summer, needing a change of scenery after their mother's death. But then no one seems to have heard from Holly for a while. Claire decides to head to Martha's Vineyard to find her sister when none of the locals seem to want to help. When Claire arrives on the Vineyard she learns of another girl that went missing one summer five years ago. And she soon learns that digging too much might be hazardous to her health. But who are the locals protecting or scared of?

4 stars!

This was a quick moving, thriller, perfect for a summer read, great for a quick weekend beach read. It was a short book, some readers could probably read in one day!

Thank you to NetGalley and Canelo suspense for a digital ARC!
