Let's giggle about the THREE books this month all with "summer" in the title, shall we?
This Summer Will be Different by Carley Fortune - totally worked for me. Loved the Prince Edward Island/Anne of Green Gables references. A sweet romance, perfect for July.
Reign by Katharine McGee - I just really had to finish this series! A satisfying ending to wrap it all up.
The Fellowship of the Puzzlemakers by Samuel Burr - found family! a creative mystery! a quest to find oneself! I loved this one.
A Death in Cornwall by Daniel Silva - I mean, of course. Gabriel Allon is my favorite. That said, this one was not quite as thick as some of the others. The stakes felt lower, and the "team" wasn't there. But I won't complain.
The Comfort of Ghosts by Jacqueline Winspear - A sweet and satisfying end to this long-running series. I loved how many old friends were brought back together, and Maisie was able to metaphorically ride off into the sunset of a happy ending. I will always want more Maisie Dobbs, but I also feel like this ending was perfect.
Tangled Up In You by Christina Lauren - It's a family joke that I only finally saw the full movie of Tangled last year. I always ended up falling asleep or helping a kid, and I had never seen the whole thing. So that meant that I wasn't quite as well versed in the Disney film on which this book is based. Even so, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's darker than some other romance novels - and Rapunzel is, actually, a pretty dark story. Such a creative retelling. I'm totally in love with these books as a concept!
Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez - This was my first Abby Jimenez and it won't be my last. Loved this story and how it was told. I do appreciate the combination of a few serious ideas alongside the romance. I liked it so much that I dived right into...
Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez - and I loved this one too! The letter-writing! The understanding between them! The family drama! (I promise I'll be back for more Abby Jimenez!)
Summer Romance by Annabel Monaghan - Despite the fact that this was my fourth romance novel in a row (I start to feel much the same way as though I've only eaten candy for a few weeks, like I need something with a vegetable), I really loved this one too. Loved the redemption love story, and the way that the main character was able to reclaim her own power. Predictable? Yes, of course. But enjoyable nevertheless.
