After the worst day in her professional life, burnt-out NICU nurse Daisy Stevens runs to Cape Carolina, North Carolina, looking for a new life—and possibly new romance. On her first day at her “simpler” job, high school baseball coach Mason Thaysden discovers an abandoned baby, sending ripples through the entire tight-knit town of Cape Carolina.
Mason is still struggling to reconcile the scars of the injury that kept him out of the big leagues, stuck in his hometown, and searching for a way out. This newcomer and the child they’ve saved together might be just the motivation he needs to stay put. Sparks fly as Mason acquaints Daisy with Cape Carolina, introducing her to his friends and family, including his batty Aunt Tilley, who is looking for relief from long-buried family secrets and her own fresh start.
But as Daisy becomes increasingly attached to this abandoned child, and begins facing her own demons in the process, a startling discovery is made that threatens to rip the entire town of Cape Carolina apart, placing Daisy, Mason, and Tilley in the center of the storm.

Somehow, I knew I was going to love this author; from the moment that I read my first book by her in 2023: Summer Of Songbirds. Her novels are both heartbreaking and soothing. Once you pick up one of Kristy’s books, you’ll fall in love with her stories. I’ve been wanting to read Summer State Of Mind since she announced it on her Instagram. If it weren’t for the long wait list at the library, I would have read it the day it was released. Out of the books that I have read by Kristy, Summer State Of Mind in my opinion is the most emotional one that I have read. I think that Summer Of State Of Mind is one of those stories that needs to be told and read.
Daisy and Mason : What is there to say about them, except that I loved them from the moment that I met them. What those two did was heartwarming and so inspiring. They gave that little girl, Maisy, what she needed the most: love. I adored how Daisy and Mason formed a bond with Maisy. However, I was worried about how attached Daisy got to Maisy, especially since I had a feeling of what could happen if parents came forward. I loved the relationship between Mason and Daisy; it didn’t take long to see how much they care for each other. I loved the way Mason’s family treated her like family from the moment that they met her.
I loved the small community and the way that they took care of each other. I enjoyed reading the book about three characters. Each of their stories was so powerful. Even though I didn’t always agree with their choices, I related to them. I found myself rooting for their happily ever after. I ended up finishing this book at 4:00 am because I needed to see what would happen. Summer State Of Mind is the story that you're eager to see how it ends, but at the same time don’t want it to be over. What an outstanding story.
