Summer Romance was a nice beach read novel. 📚 ⛱ The Main Character is going through alot in her life. She has lost her mom and she has also lost herself being married to a man who is not right for her. She learned to be herself again, to stick up for herself and to find the right partner with whom she can be her true self. An empowerment story of finding her voice again. Her love interest has liked her since High School and remains her of her worth and what he always saw in her. The characters were fun loving. I could see this novel turning into a movie. 🎬 I liked the symbolism of organizational skills, the widow's walk and skateboarding 🛹 in this novel.
Fun-tastic (to quote Cliffy)! This is a summer beach read that hits all the right notes. Ali (Alice) is struggling to get her life together while her soon to be ex-husband is living his best life. She is juggling her business, taking care of three kids, one dog, and a house that is in serious need of being organized. One fateful day at the dog park has Ali connecting with someone from her past; someone who admired her from afar and will help her be that spontaneous and hopeful girl she once was. This story takes the reader on a roller coaster of emotions with much laughter, some tears and heartbreak and the promise for a champagne summer!
If only you grew up in a small town, went back and had no idea who someone was. Falling in love seems easy in this way. Annabel Monaghan thoughtfully combines divorce, single motherhood, and finding life's next chapter with a unique cast of characters that work well together with a small town feel. She doesn't over complicate the story of a hometown feel where love and future are possible. A fun, quick summer read. Worth it for a break in today's nonstop news cycle.
