In the Spotlight, Every Secret Casts a Shadow
Hollywood’s biggest movie star, Summer Holiday's career crashes as her latest film becomes the most expensive flop in cinema history. Facing bankruptcy and industry exile, she's offered one last chance: star in a Netflix reality series that promises to solve an impossible mystery.
Fifteen years ago, Summer fled her Texas hometown after a tragic accident, leaving behind high-school heartthrob, Taft Williams and a web of secrets. Now, Summer’s striking ex-boyfriend has no memory of their relationship, friendship, romance, not even her existence. As cameras follow Summer's return to Silsbee, Texas, she must navigate hostile interviews, small-town gossip, and her own buried trauma to uncover the truth.
Are her memories too painful to face, her secrets too damning to reveal? As the reality series becomes a global phenomenon, Summer realizes that the price of redemption might be higher than she's willing to pay—and that the man she's trying to save might be beyond her reach.
This ultimate beach read blends contemporary fiction, Hollywood glitz, small-town family drama, romantic-mystery, and comedic dialogue; while exploring the power of forgiveness and the courage required to confront the past.
Like Taylor Jenkins Reid’s Daisy Jones & the Six, Forgotten Summer entertains, while examining the cost of fame.
