The Summer Girl
by Elle Kennedy
The small-town beach setting was one of my favorite parts of The Summer Girl by Elle Kennedy. Initially, I didn’t realize this was the third in the Avalon Bay series. The setting in this one, coupled with the glowing Avalon Bay reviews, encouraged me to add the first two to my TBR.
The Summer Girl tells the story of two newish neighbors looking for a casual romance. Inevitably, they are surprised when their relationship turns serious. This story felt more like a character study romance which isn’t typically my type of read. I wanted more of a storyline. The characters found an immediate mutual attraction to one another. I would have preferred to watch their chemistry build throughout the story to feel more connected to their relationship. That said, there were moments in the story when I felt hooked, and Kennedy’s writing style reminded me of authors like Helena Hunting and Penny Reid.
I wouldn’t say pass on this one; I’d just say it wasn’t my favorite. Read this if you’re into beachy, romance reads with a twenty-something college feel.
