4.5 stars. A really cute story about high school love, family history and summering on Nantucket. Kinda reminds me of The Summer I Turned Pretty (on Amazon Prime - highly recommend!), although the storyline is different.

The Summer Of Lost Letters 🌅💌
I’m so happy to finally have read this book after being on my shelf for soo long.
This book is perfect if you’re in the mood for a summer read (I mean, just read the title and look at that gorgeous cover!). The description of Nantucket was so gorgeous and I found myself imagining being there. 🐚
I haven’t read much young adult romance this year, so this felt like a refreshing story to read. I loved how the author beautifully portrayed that feeling of falling in love when you’re young. I really enjoyed the banter between Noah and Abigail. Their interactions were really good and I loved seeing their relationship evolve and go from enemies, to friends, to lovers. I got butterflies at times at some of their scenes. 🥹💕
This book also focuses on Jewish history, which I appreciated learning more about, even though to be honest, I felt kind of bored reading those parts at times. I thought the plot worked perfectly to shine a light on this topic though. I really enjoyed how much Abigail cared about her past and wanting to learn more about her grandma. 🤍
It was inspiring seeing how Abigail’s decision of going to Nantucket changed her whole life and her family’s.
I actually didn’t see the ending coming and it was so good! I was tearing up at the end. 😭🫶🏽
I would love to know more about Noah and Abi’s relationship, so I might check out the other books set in this world. 🌎
You’ll love this book if you enjoy:
💌 historical fiction
💕 young adult romance
🌅 summer reads
📖 coming of age stories
ps. Noah Barbanel kinda gave me James Beaufort from Maxton Hall vibes.

I’ve read this book a while ago and pretty much the only thing I remember about it are the boring, long and nonsense conversations between the two MC. I did not hate this book, but I really disliked it. The storyline was fine but not thought out well enough for it to remain interesting, I absolutely did not care about the love interest, and overall, I was just happy to get it over with. I have read worse books though, and the author really did make an effort, so I’m sure if you like the “relatively poor girl meets rich teenage heir, (he’s the most stunning guy she’s ever met) thinks he is really arrogant and then starts to notice he really is sensitive and does not want to take over the family’s company and instead be a botanist or whatever so she can’t help but fall in love with him but he’s kind of bad a expressing his feelings and talking to her yada yada yada” trope you will LOVE this book. Not me, y’all stay safe though

Not a bad story! I loved the history that was entangled with. Definitely falls into the typical YA romance but I'm not complaining!
