(lindasbookobsession.blog) The review is part of a Suzy Approved Book Tours campaign scheduled from April 20 through May 28, 2026, a five-week window designed to line up coverage around publication. (suzyapprovedbooktours.com) Macmillan says the novel is set on Balboa Island in 1956 and follows three women — Milly Kinkaid, Sylvia, and Adele — whose lives intersect through friendship and tennis.
