"This book was very touching. It managed to be both funny and emotional. Ali and Ethan are such a sweet couple! I enjoyed watching Ali find herself and learn how to stand up for herself, and I loved how supportive Ethan was through everything. He wasn't just a great love interest, but also an amazing friend and support system for Ali. Ali's kids are super sweet, and Ferris, the dog who “chose” Ethan is the real MVP! If he hadn't peed on Ethan's shoe, Ethan and Ali might never have met. Small town romance, single mother, best friend's brother, meet cute(sort of), slow burn, and so many sweet, fluffy moments! This is a fast paced, super sweet summer romance, and I highly recommend checking it out! "

"This was a good read! The fmc is divorced and finding herself again. The mmc is sweet and I loved how he helped her gain her voice again. There are also themes of grief and friendship. Overall it was a sweet and easy read. A great summer reading option. This book was closed door. "

"Summer Romance was sweet and easy to read. Ali is given the opportunity to reclaim her life and autonomy while also getting a second chance at love. It can be emotional at times and also explores the layers of losing yourself when trying to make others happy. It will hit home with middle-aged moms. We all need an Ethan in our lives. "

"I really love anything by this author. I was laughing, smiling, getting butterflies and tearing up the whole way through. This book was so relatable as a middle aged Mom! Also, Ethan is an angel. Highly recommend!"

"I read this for a book club and though right away it seemed too light and unrealistic for me, by the end I found myself enjoying the story and the characters."

"Sometimes books receive 5-star ratings because of profoundness, uniqueness, or especially clever plot lines. But this book received 5-stars because it was an absolutely effortless read. I enjoy reading most when the pages fly by and my mind becomes fully engrossed, and for this book that happened from the very beginning. Ethan + Ali ="
