Margaret Walsh worked for six years to overcome the trauma she endured at the hands of bullies as a kid, and graduation promises the chance to start over in college and leave the past behind her for good.
What was supposed to be her last summer of fun before moving to Paris turns into a nightmare as her parents announce they're taking over management of a restaurant in the New England beach town where she spent her childhood. For them, it's an amazing possibility. For her, it means confronting memories - and people - she'd rather forget.
Margie's all grown up now, but some things never change. When Zach Robinson insists he's not the bully she remembers, it's all she can do not to laugh. Still, if she's learned anything over years, it's that everyone deserves an opportunity to be better.
Even lost causes need second chances, but with her heart on the line, asking her to bet on a long shot might take more faith than she's willing to give.

My Bittersweet Summer really struck a chord with me. I thought the storyline was well written and the narrator did a fantastic job of conveying the emotions. Well done.

Narration was fairly good and brought the story to life.
I enjoyed the ups and downs and how everything came together for a sweet HEA conclusion with a few twists. This is a pretty intense story and kept me hooked from the beginning. This is a pretty clean story that can be enjoyed by either teens or adults.
The story was from Margie’s POV so it was hard to figure out what Zach’s motives and intentions were until towards the end. But everything wrapped up nicely at the end.

Great narration!

Let me start off by saying I loved how she portrayed Margot’s character in this audiobook. I felt her inner struggles with her anxiety and trying to keep herself from cracking. Certain parts in the audio book I wanted to reach in and give Margot a hug and tell her it was going to be ok. The narrator really made me feel while I was listening to those scenes.
What did you find wrong about the narrator's performance?
My main issue was the narrator seem to use the same voice for all the young male characters. At times I couldn’t tell Zach and Carter apart and it did get a little confusing.
Do you have any additional comments?

Not Bad

The erstwhile lovers met when they were kids but life happened and they separated. I loved how the author brought about the reconciliation. It involved overcoming obstacles on both the young lovers parts but the inevitable HEA made it all worth it. (I would have loved a better epilogue though.)
The narration was good although there were a few times when the speaker was female but the narrator used her male persona. It didn't happen enough to be too distracting but it does bear mentioning.
All in all, a great listen.
Bittersweet love is the best!
