Malibu Summer: A Novel by Libby Gill

2.0

This book follows Conner and Ivy, a widower  and a widow trying to move on from their grief. I loved how they helped each other heal throughout the story and that their shared experiences was the base for their relationship. 

I had a hard time with this one from the beginning, mostly due to the writing. I think a first person POV really would have helped this story. 

I really wanted to love this book because a sad MMC with a kid is right up my alley but I couldn't get past the dialogue when the adults were talking to him like he was 10 instead of 4.

Thanks to Penguin House and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
