After inheriting their grandmother's PR agency and struggling to keep the doors open, sisters Libby and Hannah have one last summer to stay afloat. But when an eccentric self-help guru seeks out the duo as a potential new client, the sisters jump on to the opportunity to save their grandmother's legacy. There's just one catch, Libby and Hannah must complete a 12-week "Crush Your Comfort Zone" program first. Will this be the summer when the sisters finally face their demons and make a comeback?

COMEBACK SUMMER is a quick and light story perfect for those looking for a lighthearted read. I adore the relationships between Libby & Hannah, especially the unconventional flip of the outgoing and carefree firstborn vs the anxious and careful youngest daughter. There are also plenty of representations of Jewish culture & food, a plus-size protagonist, mental health topics, and second-chance romance.

While a lighter read, I appreciate how COMEBACK SUMMER explores what it's like living with mental illness through a realistic lens and examines the journey of a plus-sized woman working out not to lose weight but to push boundaries and become stronger. Through Libby and Hannah, COMEBACK SUMMER probes why and how fear holds us back from pursuing happiness, and encourages the readers to find our inner strength.
