“In a charming story set across three generations, Hauck introduces readers to a delightful town, Hollywood stars, a royal mystery, and the Starlight skating rink at the heart of it all. While Meet Me at the Starlight wraps you in a twentieth-century fairy tale, its themes of forgiveness, trust, second chances, acceptance, and love carry the day and will leave you grinning at the last page.”

Katherine Reay

“In true Rachel Hauck fashion, The Best Summer of Our Lives blends faith and hope into a story about the seasons of life, the seasons of friendship, and the seasons of love. A journey that will warm your heart and make you yearn to reconnect with old friends.”

Lisa Wingate

“Meet Me at the Starlight is a delightful multigenerational novel. I was fully invested in these memorable characters who are as colorful as the iconic Starlight’s neon sign. This story will have you flipping pages well past midnight as the community fights for their local treasure, and the ending will renew your faith as good prevails.”
