The Summer Break by Megan Reinking
lighthearted
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
4.0
The Summer Break is the sequel to The Ohana Cottage. This time, Mia’s best friend, Paige is the one who finds herself falling for someone while visiting Hawaii. I enjoyed the romance between Paige and a local bartender much more than Mia and John’s story. There was more banter (which I LOVE) and the relationship developed much more naturally. I truly thought that I was going to rate this title five-stars until the ending. Without giving anything away, a lot happens in the last few chapters of this book. I had reader’s whiplash and just wish that the story itself was more evenly paced. I probably will read the third book in this series once it is released this spring.
