A review by emileereadsbooks
Summer Romance by Annabel Monaghan

fast-paced

4.5

This is the kind of book you read next to water under the sun. Or that will transport you to that fictional place.

The best romances deal with love and loss, difficult and easy. And this book definitely falls into that category. I like how forthright Ethan is. I like how Ali has to deal with her choices and see the consequences of her actions. I love how they both are most themselves with one another. 

I loved this book having 30 something year olds falling in love and dealing with the elements of real life, kids, neighbors, jobs. Those details grounded the story in a way that allowed the frothy love story to be appreciated even more.

Content Warnings: death, divorce, grief
