Story
Sam’s life is on track. She has the perfect doctor fiancé, Jack (his strict routines are a good thing, really), a great job in Manhattan (unless they fire her), and is about to tour a wedding venue near her family’s Long Island beach house. Everything should go to plan, yet the minute she arrives, Sam senses something is off. Wyatt is here. Her Wyatt. But there’s no reason for a thirty-year-old engaged woman to feel panicked around the guy who broke her heart when she was seventeen. Right?

Anna Green thought she was marrying Liam “West” Weston for access to subsidized family housing while at UCLA. She also thought she’d signed divorce papers when the graduation caps were tossed, and they both went on their merry ways. Three years later, Anna is a starving artist living paycheck to paycheck while West is a Stanford professor. He may be one of four heirs to the Weston Foods conglomerate, but he has little interest in working for the heartless corporation his family built from the ground up. He is interested, however, in his one-hundred-million-dollar inheritance.

She spent just twenty-four hours in her early twenties with the aggravatingly attractive, idealistic artist, a chance encounter that spiraled into a daylong adventure in the city. The timing was wrong, but their connection was undeniable: they shared every secret, every dream, and made a pact to meet one year later. Fern showed up. Will didn’t.

Publisher's summary
AN INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER
“A BINGEABLE FIVE-STAR READ.”—ABBY JIMENEZ, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"I loved it—brims with heart, wit, and longing.”—CARLEY FORTUNE, #1 New York Times bestselling author
The romantic and hilarious story of a professional organizer whose life is a mess, and the summer she gets unstuck with the help of someone unexpected from her past, by the bestselling author of Nora Goes Off Script.
Benefits of a summer romance: It’s always fun, always brief, and no one gets their heart broken.
Ali Morris is a professional organizer whose own life is a mess. Her mom died two years ago, then her husband left, and she hasn’t worn pants with a zipper in longer than she cares to remember.
No one is more surprised than Ali when the first time she takes off her wedding ring and puts on pants with hardware—overalls count, right?—she meets someone. Or rather, her dog claims a man for her...by peeing on him. Ethan smiles at Ali like her pants are just right—like he likes what he sees. He looks at her like she’s a younger, braver version of herself. The last thing newly single mom Ali needs is to make her life messier, but there’s no harm in a little summer romance. Is there?

Story
Sam’s life is on track. She has the perfect doctor fiancé, Jack (his strict routines are a good thing, really), a great job in Manhattan (unless they fire her), and is about to tour a wedding venue near her family’s Long Island beach house. Everything should go to plan, yet the minute she arrives, Sam senses something is off. Wyatt is here. Her Wyatt. But there’s no reason for a thirty-year-old engaged woman to feel panicked around the guy who broke her heart when she was seventeen. Right?

Nora Hamilton knows the formula for love better than anyone. As a romance channel screenwriter, it’s her job. But when her too-good-to-work husband leaves her and their two kids, Nora turns her marriage’s collapse into cash and writes the best script of her life. No one is more surprised than her when it’s picked up for the big screen and set to film on location at her 100-year-old home. When former Sexiest Man Alive, Leo Vance, is cast as her ne’er-do-well husband, Nora’s life will never be the same.

Lucy is the tourist vacationing at a beach house on Prince Edward Island. Felix is the local who shows her a very good time. The only problem: Lucy doesn’t know he’s her best friend’s younger brother. Lucy and Felix’s chemistry is unreal, but the list of reasons why they need to stay away from each other is long, and they vow to never repeat that electric night again. It’s easier said than done.

Eileen Merriweather loves to get lost in a good happily-ever-after. The fictional kind, anyway. Because at least imaginary men don’t leave you at the altar. She feels safe in a book. At home. Which might be why she’s so set on going her annual book club retreat this year—she needs good friends, cheap wine, and grand romantic gestures—no matter what.

Three years later, Anna is a starving artist living paycheck to paycheck while West is a Stanford professor.

Sweet ,clean romance that was sometimes a bit too slow
This is a sweet read ,you could definitely give it to a teenager or adult who doesn’t appreciate detailed sexual content or swear words. I like my romance more witty and spicy so it was a bit bland for me but I could still appreciate the sweetness of the story. 3.5 stars for me

Beautiful Surprise
☀️👙𝙎𝙪𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙧 𝙍𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙗𝙮 @annabelmonaghan 👙☀️
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5
🎧8 hrs. 27 mins.
✨ 𝙈𝙮 𝙍𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬:
This is my second book I’ve read from Annabel and if I’m being completely honest, I was hesitant to start this one because I was not a big fan of “Same Time Next Summer.” I figured I’d try another book by Annabel and this one I absolutely loved! It didn’t disappoint. I loved the characters and I loved Ali and Ethan together. Their spark and chemistry were undeniable. I loved the way Ethan helped Ali through her divorce and helped her learn to stand up to her stupid husband Peter. Ali’s best friend is so supportive especially when she finds out her brother is dating her best friend. This book you’ll definitely want to add to your summer romance list. You won’t be disappointed.

Better than Same Time, not quite as good as Nora. This book was written all us moms of teen/preteen girls. Hopefully, its imminent success will inspire more 35-45yo FMCs! Loved the references to Auntie Mame, too.

Genuinely inspirational
This is the sweetest book. I loved “Nora” as well, but I think this one is even better. It speaks to the dangers of passivity in our lives in ways that extend far beyond romance. You will want to organize your closets, and your life, after you read this book.
