HELLO ALL WHO READ BOOK REVIEWS!
Bookworms, friends, all who enjoy reading, this post may be for you! But if not, that's okay, I shall just talk to myself about this summery read. When yours truly gets a free book in the mail, I try my hardest to be a "good reviewer" and actually write a review when I'm done. So that is what this is, me holding up my end of the bargain! (*wink wink* also it's nice to just type out a post for this blog too, this little corner of the internet has so many happy memories for me. Even tho my life has changed a bunch... I still wish to someday start another blog of sorts.)
Anywho! On to the review!
Just for the Summer:
⭑⭑⭑⭑⭒
This book was fun, lighthearted, and perfect for entertainment on a lazy day. The characters were enjoyable, and I especially liked Ginny and her genuine heart. Jacqueline, on the other hand, rubbed me the wrong way. But I'm glad the author decided to turn her story into a life lesson for the readers.
The setting was fun, I pictured the beautiful outdoors of Idaho, rushing white water, and craggy rocks and thick forests! I'm definitely a country girl so I couldn't relate with Jacqueline at all. I liked the small-town community found at the lodge. I also liked Jack, he was that typical old grouch with a soft heart.
The one thing I didn't like was the romance. Both romances were pretty shallow, and I was unconvinced at the end that they were truly in love. Lol, but for a light summer read, I'd say I enjoyed hearing about the job swap idea. It kinda read like a hallmark.
The cover is cute and contemporary, it matches the genre really well!
If you enjoy small-town community, friendships, and a little bit of girl drama, then I'd give Just for the Summer a try!
About the book:
Ginny Masters manages a popular boutique hotel in Seattle and manages it with aplomb. But the daily challenges and irritations of a fast-paced job and a demanding boss are starting to get to her. Jacqueline Potter manages her grandfather's fishing lodge in Idaho because it was the only job she could find after graduating with her hospitality degree. She's grateful for the work but longs for a more sophisticated and cosmopolitan life she's just not going to find in this backwoods town.
The solution to both their problems seems obvious. Just for the summer, they'll swap jobs and lifestyles. But they never anticipated swapping love interests . . .
In this fabulous new twist on an age-old fable, award-winning and bestselling author Melody Carlson introduces you to two career-focused women who are about to discover that there's more to finding happiness than just switching up the scenery.
These rainy pictures go well with the Seattle side of this book!
Does this book sound interesting to you? Have you read any good summer books this year?
