I absolutely loved this book. From the very first page, I felt completely swept away—it made me feel free in a way that only the best stories can. The romance was beautifully written, and I found myself deeply connected to the characters, as if their emotions were my own. Their hopes, their fears, their love—it all felt so real. I laughed, I cried, and I didn’t want it to end. It reminded me of what it feels like to fall in love—not just with someone, but with a story that speaks to your soul. This book is going to stay with me for a long time.

🌱| Just wow! She does it again. Robbi crafts the kind of love story that makes you feel like you’re right there. What a beautiful coming of age love story of second chance and confronting secrets and unspoken feelings.

Thank you for the early read!!

This was my first book by Robbi Renee and OMG it was an amazing read!!! The emotions I went through & the reminiscing I did from my own teenage years….so similar, so relatable. Robbi Renee is now one of my favorite authors!!

Summers, seasons, sexy, sweet, this is the book that has it all. Renee has crafted an entertaining story that interested me from the first few pages. I was intrigued by the plot and main characters as they navigate the past and their futures. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

This Second Chance romance was so beautiful! Summer & Echo meet at a summer camp , at the age of seventeen . They very quickly became bestfriends and were inseparable ! Their friendship/closeness always seemed weird to others (friends, parents, siblings) but they never cared what anyone else thought. Before heading to their first semesters of college a secret of theirs puts a strain on their relationship .

Years Later, they’re reunited and have to face this bond and secret that’s been holding them back in life! This was a true best friend to lovers story . Echo is a sweet protective man , while Summer is unsure but feisty. This dynamic created some of the best banter and tension that I’ve read in a while ! This was my first Robbi Renee read & I cannot wait to read some more of her work !

I am a Robbi Renee Stan and this book only solidified my love for her! A true second chance that I felt in my heart. The love story is such a good one

I enjoyed this story a lot. I was immediately locked in with Summer's situation. This story had the right amount of backstory and current along with dual pov to see how both characters are feeling. This was my first read of this author and I will purchase more of her stories very soon.
This story had the right amounts of ups, downs and between to not get stagnant.

WOW! Amazingly done. Robbi Renee doesn't disappoint again. This book automatically pulled me in, in chapter one and I couldn't put it down. I love a friends-to-lovers trope and it was done perfectly. I could see this work turned into a movie; that's how vivid each of the scenes were. I will definitely be doing a review on my socials closer to the release date!

This is the type of romance book you devour. Summer and Echo have been best friends for years— until something momentous shifts their relationship. Flash forward over 10 years later and we see them reunite under intense and unlikely circumstances.
This story has dual POVs and time jumps, and we can vividly see the chemistry and emotional attachment these two have no matter the decade. The story is gripping, and I love seeing young love mold into something stronger and more grounded as our protagonists grow up. There is sweet nostalgia in this story, as well as pain and growth in having to make difficult decisions. Our characters are creative, ambitious, have such heart for family and one another.
The writing was beautiful and introspective. Personally, I could have done without repetitive references to a women’s “precious treasure” (lol), but overall this was a lovely, mid-spicy book to read and it’ll definitely be a romance I recommend this year!

4.75 ⭐️ omg this has been added to my favorite of this year! A friends to lovers story that's so beautifully written. 🥰 You could feel the emotions and love in the pages. Echo was head over heels for his Sunshine🥹🤧 Even though the story took me from one part of their timeline to the next, back and forth (which is something im not a fan of)...I still enjoyed this. It was just too good. I didn't even care anymore.

I absolutely loved the story of Summer and Echo. It had me all in my feelings. I loved reading the flashbacks of them building their friendship and falling in love. Echo didn't play about Summer at all. Even with them falling apart for so many years, he knew exactly how to find her. He was exactly who she needed when she was going through. The love between these two was special and was denied because of their parents. I enjoyed reading them address what led them to no longer speaking. It broke my heart reading what they went through. I do believe Summer made the right decision. I loved reading them come together, and finally get their happiness. It was well deserved. They truly had a special, once in a lifetime love.

Thank you so much to Black Odyssey Media for the free e-ARC of Summer’s Echo by Robbi Renee 😭💕Sometimes I really think second chance romance is going to stop hitting for me one day, but then a book like this comes along and reminds me it never will when it’s done right.

Summer and Echo were truly endgame. They were everything I needed and more 😩 In this book, we get to see them fall so hard and fast as bestfriend/co-camp counselors during the summer of 2005. Young, reckless, and completely in love 🫶🏽 *le sighhhhh* Then flash forward 15 years to the present day where they reconnect under very interesting circumstances 😅💕🙃 But once they’re back within each other’s orbit, it’s like no time has passed. Every emotion, every look, every unspoken word comes rushing back like it never left. And with that, their sweet memories resurface along with the pain of all the unresolved issues that drove them apart in the first place 😭

Robbi captured the full fledge emotional flame of a second chance romance perfectly. The angst, the longing, the yearning, the never getting over your first love even when you can’t admit to yourself 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 it was all there. The dual timelines were done so well too, keeping me locked in as we slowly unraveled how things fell apart and what it would take to piece it back together. But fr, she did such a great job of building the tension between Summer and Echo, past to present. Their connection was soooo deep and real 🥲💕

At its core, Summer’s Echo is a beautifully written story about first love, lost time, and the courage it takes to choose the person who always gives you butterflies 🥰
