One day Kelsey wakes up in the hospital and learns a car jumped the curb and hit her. That event turns out to be a major life interrupter. Before the accident she was a workaholic with a clear career goal. Her life wasn't exciting or fulfilling but it was safe and calculated. But post accident she is realizing that if she doesn't change her ways she may end up at the end of her life full of regret.

Part of this shift of perspective comes from her hospital roommate Georgina. Georgina Tate is an iconic business woman who has risen to the top in a truly inspiring manner. But she's sick in the hospital with a pair of failing kidneys with no one but her assistant showing up for her.

Kelsey feels compelled to not only make sure she doesn't live with regrets, but convincing Georgina to join her on a Summer of Yes. But Kelsey has more up her sleeve than just fun adventures, she wants to reunite Georgina with her estranged family.

And when Georgina's son and not so ex-husband enter the picture, the Summer of Yes gains much more gravity than anyone expects

What a fun ride! This is not the book I expected, but I still enjoyed it so much. 

This book has two big themes that I think played out so well.

1. Saying yes, i.e. living without regret. As someone who likes to stay on the "safe" side of life...
2. Forgiveness. The power of forgiveness in this book will make you feel all the feelings.

For readers who go into this thinking it's a pure rom com you might not love the first half, but if you think of it more as women's fiction with a rom com storyline you will not be disappointed! You will get your butterflies over flirty lines (x2), but you don't want to miss the set up because it makes it that much sweeter!
