Chapter by Chapter Summary and analysis of Jennifer Weiner´s book Big Summer, including detailed summaries of the chapters of the original book.
Original Book Plot:
A deliciously funny, remarkably poignant, and simply unputdownable novel about the power of friendship, the allure of frenemies, and the importance of finding peace with yourself in the midst of life's ups and downs. Big Summer is the perfect escape with one of the most lovable heroines to come to the page in years, from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Good in Bed and Best Friends Forever.
Drue Cavanaugh walks back into Daphne Berg's life six years after the fight that ended their friendship, looking as lovely and successful as ever, with a massive favor to ask. Daphne hasn't said anything to Drue in months—she doesn't even hate follow her ex-best friend on social media—so when Drue asks if she'll be her maid-of-honor at the summer society wedding, Daphne is understandably speechless.
Drue was always the one who had it all—except the ability to keep friends. Meanwhile, Daphne is no longer the humble sidekick she was in high school. She's created a life she enjoys, including a burgeoning career as a plus-size Instagram influencer. Allowing Drue back into her life is risky, but it comes with an invitation to spend a weekend in a waterfront Cape Cod mansion. Daphne finds herself powerless to resist Drue's siren song when she begs, pleads, and dangles the prospect of cute single guys.
Big Summer is a witty, moving story about family, friendship, and figuring out what matters most. It is a sparkling novel about the complexities of female relationships, the pitfalls of living out loud and online, and the resilience of the human heart.
