Sam’s life is on track. She has the perfect doctor fiancé, Jack (his strict routines are a good thing, really), a stable job in Manhattan (unless they fire her), and is about to tour a wedding venue near her family’s Long Island beach house (if only to appease her mother). Everything should go to plan, but the minute she arrives, Sam senses a disturbance in the force. Wyatt is here. Her Wyatt. But there’s no reason for a thirty-year-old engaged woman to feel awkward around the guy who broke her heart when she was seventeen. Right?
Yet being back at this beach, hearing notes from Wyatt’s guitar float across the night air from next door, as if no time has passed – Sam’s memories come flooding back: the feel of Wyatt’s skin on hers, their nights in the treehouse, and the truth behind their split. Sam remembers who she used to be, and as the summer heats up, she’ll have to decide: Is the life she’s created the one she wants?
SAME TIME NEXT SUMMER is a story of first loves that just might be the last, and how, sometimes, happiness is just a quick trip to the beach.
‘An unforgettable love story . . . Bursting with the magic of first love, it’s everything I want in a summer romance.’ Carley Fortune, author of Every Summer After

A masterful romance . . . Monaghan nails the second-chance romance trope, allowing the love between her leads to rekindle slowly as they forge a satisfying path to forgiveness. This is a knockout
An unforgettable love story. Packed with longing and bursting with the magic of first love, it's everything I want in a summer romance. I devoured it!
Captured my heart
Gorgeous . . . the definition of a perfect beach read
Pure summer sunshine, perfectly capturing the bittersweetness of first love. I could hear the waves and feel the summer breeze as I read. Annabel Monaghan is such a beautiful writer, and this story just swept me away.
A gorgeously rendered tale of love, self-discovery, and the experiences - and people - that define our lives . . . wrapped me in a nostalgic blanket of heart-melting romance warmer than a beach-side vacation. This is second chance romance at its absolute finest
Annabel Monaghan has worked her alchemy again: with heart, humour, and the trademark wit that gives her writing a sophisticated zing, she's spun an irresistibly evocative tale
Every word of Same Time Next Summer draws you in, affecting on a deep, emotional level. Prepare for a journey through unforgettable first love, its marriage to music, and the wit and charm that make Monaghan's books fresh and original . . . a tale rich and heartfelt
Is there anything better than an oceanfront novel about the enduring power of summer love? . . . Same Time Next Summer has it all: beachfront parties, complex characters, and hearts that won't be silenced. I loved this fun, heartfelt book
My favourite book of the summer . . . beautifully written, full of delightful characters, and kept me feeling nostalgic for that fizzy, all-consuming intensity of first love. I absolutely adored it

A delicious escape of a novel that makes you feel the sand between your toes, the salty breeze on your skin and the unforgettable ache of first love in your heart. I adored it
It's rare to find such a genuinely escapist, assured romantic comedy. Sam and Wyatt kept drawing me back every time I put the book down, and I'm sure they'll make perfect poolside companions for lots of readers this summer
Such a beautiful and evocative beachside romance - a perfect summer read!
Monaghan once again seduces us with a heart-thumping love story, authentic characters, and vivid descriptions that leave you with an ache in your chest and sand between your toes. By now, we will read anything Monaghan writes
Effortlessly witty and charming . . . captures the nostalgic headiness of first love, and poses the question: what if the life you think you want - even the person you think you are - is in fact entirely wrong for you? . . . a slice of sophisticated, sun-soaked, engaging escapism
This cute summer read will whisk you away
