Plotting Summer
by Jess Heileman
medium-paced
IT WAS OKAY.

I’ll start off by saying this wasn’t bad by any means, just a book that ended up not being for me.
I loved being back in this setting and fictional island off the coast of Florida. This is the fourth book in this series that I’ve read and the atmosphere of summer is very present in each. It makes me want to run away to the ocean ASAP.
My issue kind of stems from the tone of the writing? It felt as if the characters were younger than they were supposed to be. And something about it wasn’t clicking for me. The major romantic trope was friends to lovers, and unfortunately this had some of the issues that I don’t love about this trope (like the absolute REFUSAL that they could ever be into you).
The author thing was kind of odd too. It was built up to be this THING and then really wasn’t a thing at all.
There was some sweet swoon and I did like Tristan as the love interest. I enjoyed some key moment throughout at least.
Overall audience notes:
- Contemporary Romance
- Language: none
- Romance: kisses
