Thanks to GP Putnam's Sons and Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this title prior to publication. I loved Nora Goes Off Script this year, so I was anxious to read Monaghan's new release. When Sam takes her fiance, Jack, to her artsy family's beach house on Long Island, she comes face to face with her first love, Wyatt, next door. She's also in the midst of a work crisis and spends the time in Long Island reassessing all of the parts of her life. I liked this one but did not love it. This trope normally works well for me, but this version left me wanting more from the ending and the characters, and some parts of the plot just did not work well for me. Still, it's a fun, beachy read with well-done representation.

This was such a cute book and had really good character development. I love when characters in romance books have development and grow and learn things as the book progresses. It was a very sweet story and their relationship was absolutely adorable. 
However, the plot was very simple with not much content, so the book was dragged out a bit just to get it chunky. But it wasn’t that annoying because the book was quite fast paced

Loved it! I read this book so fast and enjoyed every minute of it. I loved Wyatt and didn't see the middle of the book conflict coming at all, but I found it so believable which made the whole story that much better! It was such a fun, quick read! Mild language, fade to black romance scenes.
