A lovely short story, a prequel to [b:The Second Love of My Life|25999919|The Second Love of My Life|Victoria Walters|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1442878580s/25999919.jpg|45915909] which is out in April. In The Summer I Met You we are introduced to the characters in the forthcoming book, particularly how Emma and John met. Now I've read this taster, I cannot wait for the main book!

This is the most perfect little bite-sized teaser to get you excited for The Second Love Of My Life. Told through the eyes of a secondary character in Victoria's debut novel, The Summer I Met You details how Emma met the love of her life - John - and the summer that brought them together. I loved seeing Lucas and Rose (the main character in TSLOML) together and seeing Talting once more! I am so lucky to have read TSLOML already but I am so excited for people to read TSIMY beforehand as it will give some fantastic background AND make people desperate to read on!
I loved this novella.

This review will be short and sweet, pretty much like The Summer I Met You. A delightful little story, to whet the appetite for The Second Love of My Life which I both want to read IMMEDIATELY and DON'T WANT TO READ AT ALL BECAUSE LUCAS. I genuinely thought both books were about Emma, but this little novella is of how Emma met John and TSLOML is Rose's story. Not Lucas. *SOBS* Oh, Lucas. We hardly knew ye.
Emma and John's story was so cute, who doesn't dream of meeting the love of their life and knowing almost immediately it's something special? Even more so when it's during the summer at a beach. Sigh. It's literally the perfect love story. I'm just going to spend this summer hanging around beaches, in the hopes of rescuing some poor child, despite my absolutely horrific swimming ability (it's really, really poor). It worked for Emma and John, damnit! The Summer I Met You was so cute, and I am absolutely raring to read The Second Love of my Life, and also terrified, but mostly SO EXCITED because this novella was delightful.
