Summary of Secrets of Southern Girls (Goodreads)
In Secrets of Southern Girls, the powerful, affecting debut from Haley Harrigan, a young woman uncovers devastating secrets about the friend she thinks she killed…
Ten years ago, Julie Portland accidentally killed her best friend, Reba. What’s worse is she got away with it. Consumed by guilt, she left the small town of Lawrence Mill, Mississippi, and swore nothing would ever drag her back.
Now, raising her daughter and struggling to make ends meet in Manhattan, Julie still can’t forget the ghost of a girl with golden hair and a dangerous secret.
When August, Reba’s first love, begs Julie to come home to find the diary that Reba kept all those years ago, Julie’s past comes creeping back to haunt her. That diary could expose the shameful memories Julie has been running from, but it could also unearth the hidden truths that Reba left buried…and reveal that Julie isn’t the only one who feels responsible for Reba’s death.
In fact, she may not be responsible at all.

My favorite summer reads are Joanne Demaio’s beach friends series. You can’t help but fall in love with the characters and the location.
LOVE!
800 Grapes by Laura Dave
I read that one. Loved the cover 🙂
My favorite summer read used to be The Stand by Stephen King.. It meant I packed one enjoyable book for the whole week! Now I don’t go anywhere, so it is lighter books….family situations and some psychological thrillers.
I watched the movie 😉
the Forever summer by Jamie Brenner
I STILL need to get my hands on that!
Anything by Kristy Woodson Harvey, so this summer it’s Slightly South of Simple!
I ADORE KWH 🙂
My faves are Mary Alice Monroe’s beach set 😍
Good choice!
This book sounds fantastic! I’m not particular but love Karen White, Jane Green, Emily Griffin, Beatriz Williams…… I’m reading Christina Lauren’s Dating You Hating You now and love it!!
You’re the second person to tell me about Dating You Hating You! I’ve never read their books so I might check out it out!
My favorite summer reads are always books about the beach – especially the SC low country. My favorite so far this year has been Same Beach Next Year by Dorothea Benton Frank
