Population: sixty eight.
Well, sixty nine if you count me, Elizabeth Sweet, Monheganβs newest resident and retired child star.
When I first step off the boat, Iβm ready to be charmed by the island that holds the sweetest memories from my childhood. A place so remote that even the pesky media wonβt bother to look for me here.
What I get instead is exasperation.
βSummer people.β Itβs grumbled like a curse, a growl of sorts. No one seems to want me here, least of all the grumpy sheriff who seems affronted by my mere existence.
Heβs stupidly handsome, goes nowhere without his beloved golden retriever Bing, and speaks in nothing but grunts.
Unfortunately for Fisher Jones, Iβm not going anywhere. In fact weβre neighbors. And his niece Sutton, like every other eight year old in America, is obsessed with me.
Summer in Monhegan isnβt at all what I expect, but neither is Fisher. I havenβt quite figured out why heβs so miserable, but Iβm also not volunteering what Iβm running from.
All I know is the Islanders arenβt the only ones worming their way into my heart. Though, I suppose it wonβt matter how I feel, if my past catches up to me. Maybe Iβm destined to be nothing more than π¨πͺπ’π’ππ§ π₯ππ€π₯π‘π.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
Summer People is a great collab from Brittanee Nicole and Jenni Bara. Fisher and Libby’s It is the perfect beach read for the summer of 2025!
Following a PR scandal, Hollywood starlet Elizabeth Sweet escapes to a small island town to hide out and encounters the town’s resident grump, Fisher, and his adorable niece, Sutton, who live next door to the house she’s staying in. But when Libby’s past catches up to her on the island, will Fisher be able to protect her?
This story gave me all the feels. The connection between the two characters was electric, and I was rooting for Fisher and Libby right from the start. I eccentric little town and all of its charm, Fisher’s sweet bond with Sutton, and the funny, heartfelt moments in Summer People.
I hope this book isn’t a one-off from Nicole and Bara because I would love to see more stories from them! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
