ratetheromance 's review for:

4.0

THE SUMMER OF WISHFUL THINKING is a sweet story about family, loss, and love. I love it when a romance has flawed, but loveable lead characters and Sam & Gemma really fit the bill. I really loved how they learned from each other as the story progressed.

This book started out a little slow for me, but picked up afterwards and kept a good story pace after that. After the slow start the ending felt rushed, but was very satisfying.

I found the writing choppy in places, jumping too quickly between characters and scenes, but that was a minor issue. Overall this was a great book with complex, but sweet relationships between friends, family members, and extended family. And the ending was wonderfully satisfying.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
