Love the format of seven weekends and different guests. Ben, the hot neighbor, Terrance, Shep, Kizzy, Pru, and Lisa bring different perspectives. Aunt Gicky is a force of nature. She impacted many lives. Mistaken conclusions affect decisions, which in turn affect reactions. A summer at Fire Island is just what is needed. Rediscovering, her love of sculpting and painting provides an avenue of self discovery. This is my 3rd book by Jane Rosen. I will be reading more. I received a copy through NetGalley for my honest review.

What a great beach and fun beach book to read in the.middle of February!! Jane Rosen brings on the romance and sunshine for another great book!! Thanks for the advanced copy! A definite book to add to your summer list.

Addison is expecting a big promotion but things go extremely awry. She then receives news that her estranged aunt has passed away. She travels to Fire Island where she meets many people who make a big impression on her.

This book was a lovely summer read that many will enjoy. The setting is beautifully described and there’s a large cast of characters. I think those who enjoy women’s fiction and stories heavy on character development will appreciate this story, unfortunately it just wasn’t for me.

Thank you to the author and Berkley Romance for the arc in exchange for my honest review.

I am a huge fan of Jane L. Rosen and have loved all of her books but SEVEN SUMMER WEEKENDS exceeded my already high expectations. I love the way she writes about relationships and weaves multigenerational stories into one beautiful book. Her descriptions are so vivid, I love feeling like I am actually on the ferry to Fire Island.

What it’s about….Addison Irwin is ready to finally get the recognition and position she deserves at an elite Manhattan advertising agency. When a Zoom disaster implodes everything she has worked for, she flees to Fire Island to the house she recently inherited from her aunt. Hoping to clear her head and the house to sell it, Addison soon discovers the home comes with a charming guest cottage occupied by various guests for the next seven weekends. With an array of relatable, compelling and quirky characters, the summer unfolds is so many unexpected ways forcing Addison to explore the path she has been devoted to since college and what she is really meant to do.

I raced through this one and it will be the perfect summer read when it is out on June 4th. This was easily 5 stars for me.

Thank you to Netgalley, Berkley Publishing and Jane L. Rosen for allowing me a preview e-Arc in exchange for an honest review.

I love how fire island was incorporated into this one. Addison has a death in the family and didn’t know if she should sell the house or not but began to fall in love with the people who vacationed there along with the widow next door 😍

I didn't love this one but I also didn't hate this one. However I'm not sure how I feel about this one. But I also don't regret reading it.

Overall I really enjoyed the book. It was very Rom Com and cute! I did feel that some portions of the book moved way too fast. But I enjoyed it. Great Summer down by the beach read.

When I picked this book up, I had no idea that some of my favorite characters from On Fire Island were going to be such a large part of this novel! When Addison messes up big time the day she's supposed to be receiving a promotion and ends up getting fired she's not sure what comes next. But then out of nowhere, her estranged aunt dies, leaving her, her house on Fire Island, and a summer of weekends filled with friends. As Addison tries to figure out if she's going to sell the house or keep it she builds relationships with the guests that come each weekend. She also begins to develop some SERIOUS chemistry with the widow next-door. Between the setting of Fire Island and the lovable characters, this book was a perfect summer escape on a cold winter day!

this book was cute and i liked it! i liked the beachy vibes and boy next door character! it was cute honestly

Jane Rosen is becoming a must read author for me! I hadn't realized this was a continuation of On Fire Island or I would've done a quick reread. Thank you NetGalley for the advance ecopy.

Let me start with the ultimate compliment….I was so engrossed in the book that I passed my bus stop! This is a real winner. I loved the story of Addison and Ben finding each other on Fire Island with a distinct nudge from aunt Gickey, despite her being dead.

I enjoyed every page of this book and I highly recommend it as a must summer read. Taking place on Fire Island, the unique community off Long Island. Rosen captures the vibe and brings us characters to love. For those of us who read her earlier novel, this picks up the characters, but it works perfectly as a stand-alone.

I’ve enjoyed Rosen’s earlier novels and am so glad to recommend this winner. Thank you Netgalley for this delightful read. Thanks Jane, for always acknowledging my comments on FB.
