  1. So many great ones! A Hundred Summers is one of my favorites ever. I don't always love Elin Hilderbrand's books, but they always scream summer to me.

    1. Agreed about A Hundred Summers. One of my faves for sure. Elin has lately hit them out of the park for me. There was a few I didn't love a few years ago, but lately, I've enjoyed her novels. I hope 28 Summers is good! Thanks for visiting, Angela!

  4. Thanks for this great list. I really enjoyed The Unhoneymooners. It was hilarious. Another great one that is so funny and sweet at the same time is *Love and Ohana Drama*.
