The Summer Break by Megan Reinking
4.0
lighthearted fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

 The Summer Break is the sequel to The Ohana Cottage. This time, Mia’s best friend, Paige is the one who finds herself falling for someone while visiting Hawaii. I enjoyed the romance between Paige and a local bartender much more than Mia and John’s story. There was more banter (which I LOVE) and the relationship developed much more naturally. I truly thought that I was going to rate this title five-stars until the ending. Without giving anything away, a lot happens in the last few chapters of this book. I had reader’s whiplash and just wish that the story itself was more evenly paced. I probably will read the third book in this series once it is released this spring.
