    About this audiobook

    “The Summer Seekers is the ultimate road trip book.”—Susan Wiggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author

    Get swept into a summer of sunshine, soul-searching and shameless matchmaking with this delightfully bighearted road-trip adventure by USA TODAY bestselling author Sarah Morgan!

    Kathleen is eighty years old. After she has a run-in with an intruder, her daughter wants her to move into a residential home. But she’s not having any of it. What she craves—what she needs—is adventure.

    Liza is drowning in the daily stress of family life. The last thing she needs is her mother jetting off on a wild holiday, making Liza long for a solo summer of her own.

    Martha is having a quarter-life crisis. Unemployed, unloved and uninspired, she just can’t get her life together. But she knows something has to change.

    When Martha sees Kathleen’s advertisement for a driver and companion to share an epic road trip across America with, she decides this job might be the answer to her prayers. She's not the world's best driver, but anything has to be better than living with her parents. And traveling with a stranger? No problem. Anyway, how much trouble can one eighty-year-old woman be?

    As these women embark on the journey of a lifetime, they all discover it's never too late to start over…

    Don't miss USA Today bestselling author Sarah Morgan's next cozy beach read, The Summer Swap, where a widow's plan to spend the summer in Cape Cod is upended by an unexpected guest and a secret that could change everything...

      Don’t waste your time. I don’t know how people gave this four or five stars. It’s dragged out and I was bored.
    • 5/5
      Sometimes a book finds us at exactly the right time, which is what happened here. The Summer Seekers is the book I didn’t know I needed to read.

      Based on the cover and blurb, I was expecting a light, humorous story. But, wow, is this story heavy! We have layers of emotions and family dynamics. The insight into marriage, aging, and simply discovering ourselves is powerful. Don’t get me wrong; we are given moments of levity, and we have lots of fun throughout the journey. The overall experience, though, is so much more than I expected.

      The narration is quite good, keeping me thoroughly engaged throughout. I do have to mention that the American accents were pretty terrible (sorry!), but those characters were a small part of the book and didn't detract from my experience.
