Buxton Books is proud to host Annabel Monaghan for an in-store Beach Read and Cocktail Event for her latest novel Same Time Next Summer. This is a ticketed, in-store event. To purchase tickets, please click here.
It's beach read season, and what better way to celebrate it than with a Beach Read and Cocktail event with Annabel Monaghan, author of the much beloved Nora Goes Off Script, to talk about her newest book, Same Time Next Summer (out June 6)!
We don't think it does get any better than that which is why we are thrilled to announce that on Thursday, June 22, Annabel will be joining us in the bookstore for an author talk, signing, and toast to the books that make summer beach reading so much fun.
But that's not even the best part! We are thrilled to announce that after the author talk and a brief signing period concludes, we will gather for a book club discussion of Same Time Next Summer led by Annabel herself! Since we have a little over two weeks between when Same Time Next Summer releases and the event, we are inviting attendees to read the book in advance with us and come prepared to discuss and ask questions. Who among us has not read a book and immediately wanted to talk about it with the author? Well, now's your chance!
Two ticket options are offered - General Admission and A Book is Your Ticket. For those of you who would like to participate in the bookclub discussion (to be held after the conclusion of the author talk/signing), we recommend purchasing the A Book is Your Ticket option. When you purchase this ticket, your copy of Same Time Next Summer will be available for pick-up or shipping starting upon its release on June 6 - giving you plenty of time to read the book before the event! Of course, if you choose the A Book is Your Ticket option, you are under no obligation to pick up your book early. It will be waiting for you for pick-up at the event if that is more convenient and/or you are not interested in reading the book in advance.
All ticket holders are invited to stay for the book club discussion, but please be aware that it - unlike the author talk - will include spoilers!
This is a ticketed, in-store event. Doors open at 5:30 pm. Program begins at 6:00 pm. Once the author talk and a brief signing/personalization period concludes around 7:00 pm, we invite everyone to stick around for the book club discussion led by Annabel!

About Same Time Next Summer:
“An unforgettable love story…Bursting with the magic of first love, it’s everything I want in a summer romance.”—Carley Fortune, author of Every Summer After
Beach Rules:
Do take long walks on the sand.
Do put an umbrella in every cocktail.
Do NOT run into your first love.
Sam’s life is on track. She has the perfect doctor fiancé, Jack (his strict routines are a good thing, really), a great job in Manhattan (unless they fire her), and is about to tour a wedding venue near her family’s Long Island beach house. Everything should go to plan, yet the minute she arrives, Sam senses something is off. Wyatt is here. Her Wyatt. But there’s no reason for a thirty-year-old engaged woman to feel panicked around the guy who broke her heart when she was seventeen. Right?
Yet being back at this beach, hearing notes from Wyatt’s guitar float across the night air from next door as if no time has passed—Sam’s memories come flooding back: the feel of Wyatt’s skin on hers, their nights in the treehouse, and the truth behind their split. Sam remembers who she used to be, and as Wyatt reenters her life their connection is as undeniable as it always was. She will have to make a choice.
