About the Book



"Amy Trevino, a former aspiring playwright, has stayed close to her Rhode Island hometown while her famous brother, Timothy Fleming, pursued and achieved his Hollywood dreams. Now a high school English teacher and occasional drama director, Amy takes on the production manager role for her brother's play in an effort to mend rifting family relationships. Sam, Amy's daughter, was a Disney child star who continued her pursuit for fame in a Manhattan TikTok house. Now she's returned home unexpectedly. Her sudden arrival is shrouded in secrets, and Sam refuses to open up to her mother, deciding instead to join her uncle on Block Island for the summer. Timothy, a successful and well-loved actor, is directing a summer production at a storied Block Island theater--and his famous ex-wife has the lead role. As they work together to ensure the production is a success, Amy, Sam, and Timothy are forced to grapple with their desires for recognition and fortune, stand up for what they believe art and fame actually mean, and discover what they really want out of life."--Publisher marketing.



Book Synopsis



"I adored this summer novel! My favorite beach reads are written by Meg Mitchell Moore, and Summer Stage is her brand new smash hit. If you like my books, you'll love this!" --Elin Hilderbrand

From the bestselling author of Vacationland, a spirited summer page-turner following a family of actors grappling with fame, scandal, and ambition.

The Trevino family hasn't spent much quality time together lately. But as the summer months arrive, they find themselves all together on Block Island.

Amy Trevino, a high school teacher and occasional theater director, has stayed close to her Rhode Island hometown while her famous brother, Timothy, pursued and achieved his Hollywood dreams. When Timothy returns to Block Island to direct a summer play, Amy agrees to be the production manager in an effort to mend rifting family relationships.

Sam, Amy's daughter, was a Disney child star who continued her pursuit for fame in a Manhattan TikTok house. Now she's also returned home unexpectedly, her sudden arrival shrouded in secrets. Sam refuses to open up to her mother, deciding instead to live with her uncle for the summer.

As the three Trevinos work together to ensure the production is a success, Amy, Sam, and Timothy are forced to grapple with their desires for recognition and fortune, stand up for what they believe art and fame actually mean, and discover what they really want out of life.

A bighearted and delicious novel about family, ambition, and opportunity, Summer Stage is the must-read book of the summer.



Review Quotes




"Those who like their beach books with a lot of drama will find what they're looking for--and then some. Summer Stage is best enjoyed for its setting (in its varied loveliness Block Island becomes almost another character), for its observations about the changing nature of fame, and for its occasional sly commentary." -- Wall Street Journal

"Meg Mitchell Moore kept me flipping pages late into the night in a new novel about the fleeting nature of notoriety, the darker side of fame, and how, sometimes, simply saying yes can change our lives in the most unexpected ways. Set against the backdrop of a revival of Much Ado About Nothing on beautiful Block Island, a mother, daughter, and uncle--each struggling to reinvent themselves--will learn that, while you can't change an iconic play, it's never too late to rewrite your own story. Summer Stage is a five-star novel that deserves a standing ovation! And Meg Mitchell Moore has a permanent place on my list of favorite authors." -- Kristy Woodson Harvey, New York Times bestselling author of The Wedding Veil

"Moore brings summer theatre to life in her sparkling latest. The relationships feel real and engaging, and the dialogue is sharp and snappy, with smart writing that examines familial relationships with insight and aplomb. This one's equally charming and satisfying." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Moore's latest deliciously captures the energy of a summer of creativity with this ensemble piece, combining a strong sense of place with likable narrators. From Sam's stubborn vulnerability to Amy's competence that belies bigger dreams, the characters are both relatable and aspirational. Give this to fans of Elin Hilderbrand and The Summer Set, by Aimee Agresti." -- Booklist (starred review)

"Moore has created a story that unfolds much like a hot summer day at the beach--slow and languid and spiced up with a bit of drama. A light beach read that also examines the benefits and costs of celebrity." -- Kirkus Reviews

"One of my own favorite writers." -- Elin Hilderbrand

"A family of actors encounter more than they bargained for during a summer on Block Island, which finds them mounting a production while dealing with secrets, ambition, and self-discovery." -- Southern Living

"There's sun, sea and major drama--you'll be carried away." -- People on Vacationland

"Irresistible." -- Vogue.com on Vacationland

"What a pleasure to open Vacationland by Meg Mitchell Moore and be invited for the summer to midcoast Maine. A novel full of rich, complex characters, deep blue-gray ocean views, and simmering secrets, Vacationland is as sophisticated and delicious as lobster bisque." -- Amanda Eyre Ward, New York Times bestselling author of The Jetsetters and The Lifeguards

"Engrossing....A truly lovely tale of families, love, mistakes, forgiveness, and, yes, happiness." -- Kirkus Reviews on Vacationland

"Delectable...Readers are in for a treat." -- Publishers Weekly on Vacationland
