Summer Reading
by Jenn McKinlay
This was a lovely summer read and it was really cool to see how the author tried to make the book more dyslexia friendly.
I loved the summery island setting, and Sam’s predicament at the start of the book drew me in.
While I liked Sam and Ben, and especially enjoyed their meet cute, I actually enjoyed the developing closeness of Sam and her much younger half brother, Tyler, a lot more. It was really sweet and I felt like you saw a lot more of Sam’s fun personality in this relationship than her romantic relationships.
I found the repeated worry she had - he’s a reader and I hate reading we could never be compatible!! - a bit strange as a reason that you mightn’t date someone but perhaps that’s just a personal thing.
I enjoyed reading the book but the writing wasn’t quite for me. At times I found it a little bit on the cringey side (bursting into dance was a hard read) but again I think that’s personal preference.
A final note - all of the food sounded incredible, and I loved the inclusion of the recipes at the end!
Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!
