Description
A witty and heartwarming escape about mothers and daughters, small-town dating, and the surprising ways we find our way home.
When Gigi Jenkins finds herself broke, unemployed, and out of options, she has no choice but to return to Mackinac Island, the horse-and-buggy hometown she swore she'd left behind forever.
Living under the same roof with her meddling, divorced mother, Eloise, feels like a recipe for disaster--especially when Eloise hatches a scheme to set Gigi up with the island's charming new doctor.
Determined to call her mother's bluff, Gigi agrees to the date on one condition: she gets to play matchmaker for Eloise in return.
What begins as a battle of wills spirals into a summer of small-town antics, unexpected sparks, and plot twists neither woman saw coming.
But the greatest love story of the summer isn't about romance--it's about the bond between mother and daughter. Through late-night date debriefs, outfit consultations, and learning to laugh (and forgive), Gigi and Eloise begin to bridge years of misunderstanding, moving from adversaries to confidantes.
With Lindsay MacMillan's signature wit and warmth, Summer on Lilac Island is a joyful, tender tale of second chances, new beginnings, and the countless forms love can take.

I just finished a great book that left me wanting summer. Summer on Lilac Island by Lindsay MacMillan gave me all the feels.
Lori P, Reviewer
Oh my gosh! I was so so excited to be back on Mackinack Island! My most favorite place in the whole wide world!
So much so that I wanted to idk SMH at GiGi. She really made me tired at first. But I read on to see if she would change her attitude towards the Island. Maybe?
Her grandmother is a hoot.
The author has described this Island perfectly! I could almost smell and taste their wonderful fudge! Nothing quite like Mackinac fudge.
I loved most of these characters instantly. I enjoyed their quirks and yes even the their stubborn side.
I hated to leave the island once again and these characters will leave you thinking about them long after this is over.
5 stars from me for a wonderful visit on my favorite island. I recommend to visit in person however because it does have a special charm about it.
I highly recommend!
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review of this book. All opinions expressed are mine.
