The Summer of Yes by Courtney Walsh

4.5

 

“‘I believe if something makes you happy, it’s not a waste of time.’” 

 

When young workaholic, Kelsey, and female business icon, Georgina, end up sharing a hospital room, what could be a transitory acquaintance turns into much more. Reevaluating her perspective after being in an accident, Kelsey starts considering how she has been limiting her own life and begins wondering what kind of regrets Georgina may have as well. 

 

And so the Summer of Yes is born. Kelsey convinces Georgina to take a break from her normal day-to-day and to start saying, “Yes,” to experiencing life. 

 

This is an uplifting summer read that emphasizes the importance of human connection, seeking out wonder, and appreciating the small moments as well as the big ones. It’s full of friendship, family, simple pleasures, taking chances, and a bit of romance. 

 

I read an advance copy of the book as part of a traveling ARC group. All review opinions are my own.
