Summer Romance by Annabel Monaghan

funny hopeful lighthearted fast-paced

4.5

This is a perfect summer read, especially for moms who have children. We all know people who have had difficult marriages (none of them are easy, probably!). In this case, Ali and her husband are going through a divorce. After being separated a year or so, she runs into a charming guy at the dog park and decides she likes the idea of a summer romance. Several fun surprises make it a delightful read - and since it takes place in the summer, it feels so right for the season.

I especially loved that there is a Scooter nickname. My husband is called Skooter by his family (he was called that as a child and his father has the same name he does, so it seems to be how people kept their names separate). 

“Maybe that’s the essence of a summer romance: it’s the impossible thing - a love affair with no reality check.” 

Next on my summer reading is Monaghan’s book NORA GOES OFF SCRIPT. I always heard the best things about it and I know I will love it, too.
