The Summer of You and Me is a story that will stay with me for a long time.

What’s the protocol for seeing your dead husband in the crowd at a carnival? That’s the question facing Maggie Reynolds, not long after she arrives in his hometown for the summer. She’s returned to mark five years since his death, and hopefully, find the strength to start moving on with their daughter. After the shock sighting, Maggie turns to her former brother in law Josh for help, not realizing Josh has loved her since they first met.

The two begin a journey of investigation, discovery and shock, while navigating grief and romance. But there are many sets of baggage when you fall for your dead husband’s brother and the pair must unpack all of them or run the risk of broken hearts all over again.

While I did struggle with the idea of romance between former in laws, this story is sensitively handled and contains and excellent plot twist that made me gasp and smile. Overall, I throughly enjoyed this book.

I received a copy of The Summer of You and Me from the publisher, via NetGalley. The opinions are my own.
