mayawildgoose 's review for:
Cruel Summer
by Maisey Yates
Thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin for this advanced listening copy!
Sam lives in a small Oregon town and has her whole life, happily married with grown kids. Then, her husband of 20 years proposes trialing an open marriage, much to her heartbreak. She ends up spending her summer trying new things during road trips across the country with her husbands handsome and mysterious best friend…
I liked that the FMC was in the middle act of life and that Yates explored what love means in middle age. I also enjoyed the mechanism of the road trips to encourage Sam’s growth.
I found the romance to be a little 0-60 in terms of growth, but they did have good chemistry.
Overall, a fun summer read.
10/10 for the narrator, too!
