The Comeback Summer by Ali Brady

4.0

Thank you Berkley for The Comeback Summer by Ali Brady. You can smell the ocean, feel the sand under your toes, taste the salt rimmed margarita (or taste the chicago hot dog and smell lakeshore drive!) when you read this fun escapist summer beach read. Themes on sisters are always so great and I loved the focus on comeback/crush your comfort zone and how the main characters really took on this challenge but also used it to help each other, to generate closeness and support. The romance was a second chance theme that always resonates and there were nice notes of inclusion via a focus on Jewish identity, which I appreciated. There was a lot to enjoy in this light hearted summer romance and the self growth themes really made the book work for me.
Definitely a welcome to summer reading option and I would recommend tossing it in the beach bag to romance fans!
