Till Summer Do Us Part by Meghan Quinn

This book had me dying laughing at multiple points.

It’s a contemporary romantic comedy with just enough flair to stay perfectly in the lane of “fun time” without veering off into full-blown ridiculousness.

I read this as an audiobook with my besties during our regular girls’ night, and honestly, that was the best decision we could’ve made.

We thoroughly enjoyed the light-hearted plot and all the comedic moments sprinkled throughout. It gave us plenty of laughs and even more to talk about as we read, and we had such a good time with it that we ended up making plans to hang out again the very next day just to finish it together.

Wilder, for me, really toes the line between quirky and cringe. Sometimes it’s haha cute, and sometimes it’s maybe a little much. So if you’re not into that kind of humor, he might not be your cup of tea. But overall, the story was compelling and held our attention start to finish.

There were a few running gags and bits especially with the counselor that got dragged out more than I would’ve liked. The one that really grated on me was how often every single conversation somehow circled back to her ex. There were so many sentences that could’ve ended cleanly, but then she’d tack on some little jab or comment that just kept his name in the mix. Like girl, we get it. You’re thinking about him. You don’t have to say the quiet part out loud every time.

Overall, it’s a fun, quick, breezy contemporary with lots of laughs and a solid helping of on-page spice. Definitely a good choice for a book club with wine and friends.
