Thank you to NetGalley, Penguin Group Putnam, and Annabel Monaghan for the digital ARC. All opinions are my own.

When I tell you Annabel Monaghan can write her face off…❤️❤️

This summer I picked up Summer Romance on a whim. It surprised the heck out of me and was easily a 5⭐️ read for me. When this one became available on NetGalley I clicked so quick!

Annabel has such a talent for writing simple things beautifully. I find myself highlighting the mess out of her books, slowing down to reread sentences because they just resonate so deeply. Her ability to capture complex characters and an ensemble of compelling and nuanced family members with their own unique dynamics in relation to one another and the MCs is astounding. I wanted Dan & Jane’s HEA, but I also hated to leave these characters on the page. 

Immediately going back to devour the rest of her backlist. Can’t wait for the next one!
