Summer's End by Harper Bliss
4.0

Sigh.

I loved how this book started out: a beach romance between a 20-something and a 40-something woman, both with complex backstories and personalities. I also liked how the younger woman was just figuring out her sexuality, her reaction when she finally said it out loud, and all of that.

Then it did that thing romance novels do where after a certain point it's nothing but a series of sex scenes, and I was bored to death.

I'm still rating it 4 stars instead of 3 because it referenced my favourite joke from Ellen's Puppy Episode.

All in all, if you don't mind sex scenes then this was a good book, but for me it was just too much.
