Welcome to Litsy!

This one was so much better than the first book!

First off, I have to preface this review by saying I have seen the second season of the show, so I did know a lot of the plot points going into the book and obviously wasn‘t surprised by some of the things that happened.

This book was much more emotional than the first.

For several years I wanted too visit EH where her Nantucket series began. But when older books are not on my physical shelves it‘s hard to pull them from my TBR. I was thrilled when my June #DoubleSpin challenged me with category: Ebook TBR. Some of this 2000 contemporary writing doesn‘t quite work as contemporary fiction 25 years later, but still it was a fun to read the book where the Nantucket series began.

Currently reading The Beach House in Orange Beach, Alabama. My husband and I are renting a beach house here with my family from Kansas. Today while I was reading by the beach my niece brought me a pina colada so, yes, it was a good day! 🏖️📖🍹💙

A cute summer read! Really captures the anticipation and angst of summer romances.

I am a huge fan of the show and of her other series, To All the Boys I‘ve Loved Before, so I figured it was finally time to read this series. This book wasn‘t as exciting as the show, but it was still an enjoyable read.

The first half of the book was a little slow and heavy on flashbacks.

If you‘re going to the beach today be nice to your park staff! #memorialday #beach #summer #kobo

I am very much not the audience this book, but my daughter wanted to listen to it on our drive today. I‘m just too old, but I think I would have liked it more if I read it on a sunny beach instead of on a rainy drive down I-95.

This book was so so so so cute.
I will definitely be reading the rest of the series. Belly is just so cool. And she spends so much time thinking she's not, but I really loved her. And just like the show, Team Jeremiah. Everyone can fight me.

Simple and predictable, but I still want to read more by this author. Nora Goes off Script was great 💕
