second-chance summer romance about first love, growing up, and all the messy feelings that never fully go away.
Every Summer After by Fortune, Carley
Alexandra Potter is honestly so underrated, her writing always has that “your life is a bit of a mess but it’s going to be okay” energy. I loved her Confessions series, so I had to add this.
So, I Met This Guy . . . - Potter, Alexandra
A best friends to lovers romance… need I say more??
Our Perfect Storm eBook by Carley Fortune
I’ve never read a Tessa Bailey book before (I know, I know), but I’ve heard she writes the kind of romance that is equal parts spicy, funny, and slightly chaotic. This one is a friends-to-lovers situation, and I’m very intrigued.
Hook, Line, and Sinker: Spicy Romantic Comedy
My second Tessa Bailey pick because I clearly have no self-control. This one is giving small-town romance, fake dating vibes, and “why are we like this” energy. I feel like I’m either going to love it or become obsessed with it immediately.
Fix Her Up: A Novel by Tessa Bailey
This one is such a rom-com classic I feel like I’ve been avoiding it for no reason. A forced proximity, enemies-to-lovers situation set on a honeymoon gone very wrong… which honestly sounds like exactly the kind of chaos I want this summer.
The Unhoneymooners by Lauren, Christina
