such a great feel good book about friendship and some hardships. i found myself smiling all throughout this book. excellent work!!!!

This book is total cotton candy goodness if you are in the mood for something quick and sweet. I found the whole concept to be very tender but I did feel like there was very little nuance in the situations that had made the characters and disrupted their lives. I think it's a little bit intense to be so one way or the other but I definitely related to both women at different points. I thought the love story was so tender and that it was a great book about saying YES to new things and to living life.

I absolutely ADORED this book! It had everything that I could ask for in a Courtney Walsh book. The characters were well developed and I found myself staying up way past my bedtime to sneak a few more chapters in. Thank you so much for the opportunity to read this amazing book! I will definitely be sharing it with all of my fellow book lovers!

I found this book to be enjoyable with a good flow that captured my attention throughout the story. I typically am more into thrillers; however this fictional novel kept me entertained and was a page turner. It is a positive book about friendship and love. I felt like I was with them in the adventure and enjoyed the ride. Say YES to this read :)

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own

This novel was really cute!! I loved the relationship between Kelsey and Georgina, but the relationships for all of the characters were realistic and incredibly well-written!

It is a love story, but it deals with a lot more than that. It talks about finding yourself, the value of relationships, the importance of caring for others and yourself.

It’s also the perfect length. Nothing really dragged, it was all done really well! I would definitely recommend this book!

It was cold and snowy when I requested this book from @netgalley and yes, I judged this one by its cover. As soon as my request was approved, it magically turned 75 degrees and sunny! Signs are everywhere if we stop and take the time to appreciate them. When a serious accident lands Kelsey in the hospital, the universe sends her a roommate notable for her accomplishments. I could absolutely close my eyes and imagine women like Georgina who have come into my life and absolutely inspired me in a life-altering way. Sometimes it takes a little (or big) life shake-up to remind us to take a step back and see the bigger picture. The Summer of Yes is an absolute beautiful and inspiring book that reminds us that instead of a yes day, we need the yes life we are worthy of!

Review is posted on Goodreads and will be on Instagram later in March!

Thank you netgalley and Courtney Walsh for the arc of this book.
Kelsey gets hit by a car and wakes up in the hospital Georgina has liver failure and will die if she doesn’t get a new liver but she has a rare blood type and tissue. They meet at the hospital as the hospital put them in the same room together. After the accident Kelsey decides she needs to say yes more to things she normally wouldn’t. She usually just works. So she goes back to the hospital to try to talk Georgina into joining her. Very reluctantly Georgina agrees. At first they just do things in nyc they haven’t done before but then Kelsey has other plans that she doesn’t tell Georgina about. This is a book about love, hope and forgiveness both Kelsey and Georgina grow a lot along the way. I absolutely recommend reading this book.

The summer of yes by Courtney Walsh was a cute entertaining read that remind me of a movie. I enjoyed the story, i thought it was lighthearted and funny. I also loved the characters and the subjects like friendship. Overall i would recommend it.

The Summer of Yes is a heartwarming and inspiring story about two women who learn to embrace life and live with no regrets. Kelsey and Georgina are both relatable characters who go on a transformative journey together. The book is full of humor, friendship, and romance, making it a perfect read for anyone looking for a feel-good story. You should say yes to this one!

A delightful story about seizing the moment and discovering oneself. When Kelsey's ordinary day turns into something extraordinary, she finds herself alongside the formidable Georgina Tate. Despite their differences, they embark on a journey of self-discovery, learning to say "yes" to life's opportunities. Filled with relatable characters and inspiring messages about courage and love, this is a feel-good read that will leave you smiling and motivated to embrace life's adventures.

I love Courtney books. This is a great book. Kelsey is a junior editor who wants to be a writer. She gets hit by a car and ends up in a room with Georgina a well known business woman who has failing kidneys. Kelsey decides to do a yes summer where she says yes to all the things she said no to. She talks Georgina into going with her and they build a great relationship. There is renewed love and new love along the way and forgiveness.

This book really makes you stop and think and take stock of your life and what you are doing with your time. It centers around a young woman, Kelsey, and an older woman, Georgina who both have put work before anything else in their life. The story ultimately ends up with dual story telling and a couple of romances, but they aren’t at the forefront. For me the first part of the story felt slow and I didn’t enjoy the monologues of stories Kelsey made up in her head in the middle of what was actually going on. I felt like it took away from the moments. Overall still a 4 star read. Thank you to NetGalley and Thomas Nelson publishing for the ARC.

Another wonderful read from Courtney Walsh! I was hooked on the main characters right away. The personality differences between the two had me hooked. This was a really positive read throughout and it was refreshing to have so much joy in one novel. Thank you for the ARC!

Dnf at 50%! This was my first Walsh book and it started off strong but then I started losing interest. I am a big mood reader so maybe it’s me cause it does seem like a feel good, cute story.

Thank you NetGalley, Thomas Nelson Fiction, and Courtney Walsh for providing me this ARC.

YES! This is the best way to describe this book.
I absolutely loved this book. It's romantic, funny... I also find the story inspiring and encouraging. Sometimes You just have to take a leap of faith. It's something I'm trying to do as much as possible. Be bold and try something new.

The characters were lovable and I loved the different POVs. The friendship between Georgina and Kelsey is so beautiful. There is also a sweet romance.

I highly recommend this book. It's perfect if you want an uplifting story.

And remember ... just say YES! (Also to reading this book. I promise you, it's worth it.)

Wow! This was such an uplifting read! I absolutely loved the characters, the message and really, just everything about this book! A definite 5 star read for me!

A book about saying yes and making the most out of the time you have. I loved the lessons here and left feeling inspired to do more of what makes me happy. There are a couple of settings we experience in this book and both made me feel so immersed in the story.

Thank you Netgalley for the the arc.

The Summer Of Yes by Courtney Walsh is a charming book with a poignant message. The story is about the unlikely friendship of two woman who both have a lot to learn. They pushed and challenged each other along the way as they learned what I really means to say yes to life. A fun, lighthearted story doesn’t mean shallow.

Thank you NetGalley, Thomas Nelson Fiction, and Courtney Walsh for the advanced copy.

The Summer of Yes is a feel good story. Two women meet in a hospital room, Kelsey has been hit by a car with only a concussion and Georgina is in kidney failure. Kelsey decides to say Yes to everything because she realized there is more to life and somehow cajoles Georgina into going along with it. I loved the interaction between the two women. You will root for both of them. This is a story of reluctant friendship, second chances and romance. Thank you to Thomas Nelson Fiction and NetGalley. This is my own opinion.

Read via NetGalley. Great concept- a summer of yes. A hospital setting is truly the only way these two very different people from different generations would meet. Georgina Tate reminded me of Miranda from The Devil Wears Prada. Enjoyed Georgina and Kelsey’s adventures. All the storylines resolved in the end - maybe a little too nicely. Would recommend this book.
