Same Time Next Summer by Annabel Monaghan
3.0

Thanks to Putnam for the copy of this book!

Same Time Next Summer is very much in the same vein as Every Summer After, Happy Place, and Meet Me by the Lake - second chance romance by a lake is hot right now!

How is this book different? Sam's life is perfectly on track and she is happily engaged to Jack when her past love Wyatt, comes back into her life, so we see her wrestle through her feelings as she's supposed to be planning her wedding. There's also a very special treehouse in this book and a really wise and supportive father - I loved their conversation toward the end of the book. I appreciated having dual POV and dual timelines in this one, and it worked really well on audiobook narrated by Brittany Pressley and Dan Bittner.

Read this if you:
- are looking for a good summer/beach read
- enjoy second chance romance with a first love
- liked Every Summer After, Happy Place, or Meet Me by the Lake
- appreciate dual POV romance
