Second Chance Summer by Jill Shalvis

funny hopeful lighthearted medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

I had forgotten how much I enjoyed reading Jill Shalvis romance books, so I am glad I was prompted to pick this up from my TBR.
Set in Colarado, the nature writing sections just made me want to pack my bags and visit immediately and the romance writing well that was fab too.
Lily is returning to her home town after 10 years away, she doesn't really want to be back as it brings back too many memories of her sister who died, but maybe Aidan, her one time fling could help her see the beauty of the area and why she should stay.
Second chance romance isn't necessarily my thing, but I really enjoyed this one. Told in dual POV is my favourite as you get to see both sides of the story.
Looking forward to reading the next one in the trilogy.
