Last Chance Summer by Shannon Klare

2.0

After really loving this author’s first book, I was excited to pick up her second one. Unfortunately I did not enjoy this anywhere near as much as I was expecting to. It wasn’t really flushed out as well as it could have been, mostly because it was so short. The grief aspect wasn’t really addressed…until it was, randomly and out of the blue. And where were her parents? I don’t think the father was in the book at all other than like one phone call or something. Were the parents divorced? Separated? It never seemed like he was with the mother (who also wasn’t in the story much) but it was never explained. The romance was trying to be enemies to lovers, but that didn’t really work either. They just sort of made fun of each other all the time and somehow that was flirting? I didn’t really see it. It needed to be a bit longer to flush out the story and it probably would have been pretty solid.

**read for book scavenger hunt - a book with the letters T, A, L, and E somewhere in the title**
