"One More Summer" by J. Collette Smith


Thank you so much to the author and also P.S. I Love You PR for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. I'm truly grateful to receive this copy ahead of the release date. By the way, I hope I'm not way too early in posting my thoughts about this book. But I can't help it, so here I am.

This is a 4.5 ⭐ for me, and to think this is an entirely romance story I've read in a long while that is not connected to light novels. To be honest, this is a refreshing break for me from all the light novels and even the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew stories that I've been reading for a long while. And I'm glad I got to read this.

To be honest, the plan was for me to read one chapter a day until the end since receiving this. But it didn't happen that way during the last three days. Now I finished reading it and so, it's time for me to write this book comment (as I'd like to call my book reviews) for this book before I forget both the feeling from finally finishing this and what I wanted to say about this.

Simply put, the story is lovely. I love every bit of it, especially the fact that this is a second chance romance with a first love. My kind of story with the "second chance" theme. Every bit of it really spells the word "tranquil" inside my head, even when things about our main characters were going south. Not gonna lie, Emery's internal conflict frustrated me from time to time, even more so when it gets in the way of what she really needs to do to fix things with everyone she left behind. Get yourself together, girl! Seriously...

Honestly, I'm kind of hoping to read Nick's perspective in everything that was going on since Emery returned, though. Oh, well. I guess I'll just leave that as a mystery. 😁✌️

This book is mainly in Emery's perspective and it's been a really long while since I've read any romance books like that. Same goes to reading clean romance and I'm glad I got to read something like this. Even as I decided to read one chapter a day (which eventually didn't happen during the last three days), I still enjoy every bit of it.
