Lucy loves to sunbathe, surf and eat funnel cake on the boardwalk of Jersey Shore. For her, it's not just the perfect summer escape, it is her home. As a local girl, she knows not to get too attached to the tourists; this can lead to a sticky situation. The breeze is in over Memorial Day weekend crowding the shores and the stealing of moonlit kisses. Only to those guests and beach goers to pack up their beach umbrellas in the morning, leaving empty promises on Labor Day. Lucy wants more from love than a simple fleeting romance, even if that means keeping her distance from her all-time summertime neighbor and crush, Connor.
Now with Memorial Day approaching and Connor returning, will it be a summer of fresh starts or second chances? Lucy has been having a nice, normal time in Jersey Shore, as always. A very big and unusual storm named Sandy arrives tearing apart her home, suddenly bringing the local girl and vacationer Connor together in a very awkward situation. Nothing is the same in the wake of this horrible storm. Day after day, week after week, Lucy is left to pick up the pieces of her broken heart and broken home. Constant reminders that nothing is left of what she once knew. One thing is different, Connor is present and there to help her wipe away her tears. This boy always being a womanizer, is not really what he always seems to be. What has changed now?
In this summer romance novel, you have a timidly, courageous heroine. She can break down and cry, while being strong and firm even in the midst of Jersey Shore’s destruction. At the end of the day she fixes all her problems and begins her
“Happily Ever After”.
This is a typical summer, hot guy next door, tragically romantic book.
It was a simply, sweet, refreshing summer vacation book from start to finish. The character development was easily understood; I could relate to the characters. “I simply loved Jersey Shores from the way it was described in the book!” I really enjoyed how everything ended with a “Happily Ever After” even though they were faced with tragedy. Sometimes good things come out of a bad situation and this was just that kind of story.
Thanks for the opportunity NetGalley!
