The Summer After You and Me by Jennifer Salvato Doktorski
3.0

Picked up this book because I was interested in the whole jersey shore local and Benny relationship idea. As someone from the shore and remember hurricane Sandy, it was kind of interesting seeing how the story was centered around it and how it affected not only Lucy and Connor's relationship but also Lucy with her home in Seaside. This brought back memories of Sandy and how I felt seeing the damage. Anyway, the story was not bad. I got a little lost when Lucy switched from reminiscing memories to the present. I got annoyed with the whole miscommunication with Connor, Liam, and her friends. But I guess that comes with the age they characters are in?? I did like the family aspect and how Liam and Lucy rebuilt their relationship. It seemed rushed and honestly everything towards the end was rushed, but the ending was wholesome. Kind of wish I got more of Connor and Lucy at the end but at least it's a HEA.
