I think adults, in their worry about day-to-day living, sometimes forget who they thought they were going to be. In Summer Romance, the author captures that dissonance in such a lovely way, that I was surprised by the emotions it stirred. Her storytelling put me back to a time in my own life where I had found "my person" but didn't trust myself to believe that it was so. It is truly a gift when a writer is talented enough to evoke a feeling that is so fundamental to the human condition. This was a sweet, relatable, and satisfying love story.
