Synopsis:
Summer romances are always fun, always brief, and no one gets their heart broken.
Ali is a professional organizer, but there’s nothing as unorganized as her own life. Her mom died two years ago, then her husband left a year later. She hasn’t put on pants with a zipper in who knows how long.
When she finally decides to move on, she’s shocked on her first outing that she gets noticed, or well, her dog claims someone. That leads to a discussion and Ali’s life ends up being messier than she imagined. But there’s nothing wrong with a summer romance, right?
Thoughts:
As soon as I finished this book, I was wishing that I could read it again for the first time all over again, it was just that good. I loved how this book was full of lovable and relatable characters. Pete was the worst and made me think of exes from my past!
This book was emotional, while also being romantic. I just loved how the writing made me feel so many emotions over the course of the book. I loved that it was a romance between more mature characters, not saying there is anything wrong with younger characters, just that these characters happened to be my age so that was nice. It was nice how the author handled being forced into single motherhood and just trying to figure out how to be your own person while taking care of kids.
I loved the relationship between Ali and her teenage daughter. I think there were some amazing examples of good parenting that took place throughout the book especially when it came to teenage girl drama.
I loved Annabel Monaghan’s prior books and will continue to read all the books she writes. They are just so good, and I think everyone is better than the last!
