A classic beach read — that I was lucky enough to read on the beach! Who doesn’t love a second chance romance? While I enjoyed this one (everything by KA Tucker is a gem IMO) I thought this one lacked that extra something I’ve come to expect from her. A romance that started at summer camp comes full circle 13 years later when Piper and Kyle reunite after he takes a job in her office building. With alternating chapters telling the story of today and their summer at camp, a bit of a mystery unravels. I’d you're looking for a story of lost loves reuniting, pick this one up in August! Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I rarely am disappointed in K.A. Tucker's work, and this book is no exception. I was immediately sucked into the whole premise. With alternating chapters between present day and 13 years ago where our main characters met at summer camp, it was hard to put down. Piper was a fierce protagonist. She was strong as a teenager, and even more so as an adult being a woman in charge in her company and facing sexist coworkers every day. Kyle was adorable as a teenager, and of course to begin with as an adult, frustrating, but he obviously came out of his stupidity to be a swoon worthy love interest. The mentions sprinkled in of what happened at camp that got them all fired definitely kept interest up, and was heartbreaking when you actually get the full story. It also makes the whole story make sense even more.

I will absolutely recommend this title to friends and patrons. It was an easy, nostalgic read by an author who continues to write characters that are impossible not to connect with.
