"With brutal honesty and wit, Pilkington wonderfully depicts the male mind struggling to navigate that perilous junction where sex and love intersect."

Jonathan Tropper

Author of This Is Where I Leave You

 

"Summer Shares is a fun read but not afraid of darker undercurrents which surface at the end. With precise, easy-flowing prose, Kevin Pilkington brings us quickly into the world where his lead character is a slightly naïve young man who wants love, sex and companionship but not necessarily in that order. In fact, like many young men of that time and even now, the exact order of those significant wants is never really clear. And that confusion is what lies at the very heart of male loneliness. Love doesn’t always lead to sex and sex doesn’t always lead to love. Summer Shares is about just that, ‘sharing’ and what companionship really means."

Richard Vetere

Author of The Third Miracle

 

 

It was 1981 and Chris MacCauley was nursing a broken heart, a bruised ego and his own post-adolescent resistance to his rite of passage into adult maturity.

 

This satiric novel grapples with the social and sexual issues that confront the lives of a group of young New Yorkers who share a beach house in The Hamptons from Memorial to Labor Day. It is during that summer when The Hamptons just began to grow in popularity before becoming the exclusive enclave it is today. The narrator and central character, in a voice reminiscent of the first person "J.D. Salinger narrative style," is wounded from a disastrous love affair with his ex-girlfriend, Laura. He decides that spending a summer in the Hamptons would be the best emotional therapy he could undertake.
