Sweet Summer Love was like reading a soap opera that was solely focused on two characters plot. This was a good book, and a nice summer read. It made me feel nostalgic for how my relationship with my husband was like over 10 years ago when we started dating. The memories of how young we were and how much fun we had as kids. That was one of the main things that I got to take away from the book and I appreciate that.


I say that this book was like a soap opera because it didn't feel super realistic. It was an entertaining read do not get me wrong, but it felt like there was a disconnect. Like oh gasp .... and everything was fine. Granted I did drop a tear, at one part. There wasn't much internal monolog that led you to think there was any TRUE struggle for the character. What struggles they did have was just a brief emotion that their passions took over. And believe me when I say these characters have some passion.

Who knows maybe that's what was intended. There wasn't any dragging out for months like a real soap opera, which thank god for that. This was a fast paced read that I think I finished in a day.

The one thing that I enjoyed the most and it contributed to my personal nostalgia, what how the author wrote who sections in the past. They weren't always written as a memory, it was like reading it as it was happening. This made the feeling come across true and real. In my opinion, these past parts were the best parts of the book. It made ME feel a real emotion and become attached to reading more. I wanted to feel those feeling for the present but it just wasn't there.

I did enjoy this book and I think it is worth a read. I would feel this in the summertime, relaxing. It is definitely a "summer" read.




I received a free ARC from the publisher for this book to give my honest review.
