JUN 2026 MUST-READ BOOKS
Rolling hills, hot men with accents, and a trip to Ireland two sisters might not survive.
The queen of summer beach reads and New York Times Bestselling author, Mary Kay Andrews is crossing the pond!
Road Trip marks Andrews’ first novel in two years, the book was loosely inspired by her own family history.
Road Trip follows Maeve and Therese Dunigan, polar opposite sisters who have been estranged from each other for years. The two are only brought back together after their mother dies.
But when Maeve and Therese learn that their mom has left them a painting potentially worth millions, the siblings embark on a voyage across Ireland to discover whether or not it’s real. As they traverse local pubs and villages, and meet handsome men along the way, the sisters must reclaim their inheritance and end a family curse at the same time.
Andrews, known for summery hits like The Homewreckers and Summers at the Saint has long transported readers to memorable locations — but her latest book promises to be a romp they won’t soon forget.

"[A] mesmerizing mix of mystery and romance… Series fans and newcomers alike will be riveted."
