"Romaner som er så velskrevet som En lang, varm sommer finner man ikke så ofte. Beatriz Williams har skrevet en intrikat fortelling om vennskap, svik, familiebånd og godt bevarte hemmeligheter. Slik burde alle strandbøker være - intelligente og oppslukende." Elin Hilderbrand "En god kandidat for årets store sommerbok." Kirkus "Williams' store saga om svik, offer og nederlag går på en snedig måte I dybden på vennskap mellom kvinner og lojalitet mellom familier." Booklist
