The Summer Deal by Jill Shalvis
5.0
4.5/5
I am now speeding my way through all of the Wildstone series and loving every single one of them.

This one didn't make me laugh quite as much as the others did, but man did it make me teary. The viewpoints switch between Brynn and Kinsey, and Kinsey's was definitely the story I gravitated to the most. Her health issues broke my heart, and she was the reason for all the tears I shed while reading this. I have also come to love the romance that Shalvis infuses into her novels, and there is no shortage of hunky guys and steam in The Summer Deal. Honestly, I wanted more of Kinsey's hot boyfriend, but that's neither here nor there.
The Summer Deal is the perfect beach read, and I will forever love the setting of Wildstone, CA. Another thing I love about Shalvis' novels is that her characters are all so relatable and real. Kinsey and Brynn feel like women you could know in real life and could see yourself being friends with, and that rings true will all the books I have read in this series. This is definitely a feel-good, leave a smile on your face type of novel, and I also loved that Brynn had two moms! I loved the audiobook as well which is narrated by Erin Mallon. When they first switched to her from Karen White I didn't like it, but now I can't imagine anyone else narrating this series. I don't like change, but this time the change definitely worked!
