It Happened One Summer

Okay, this one was a little special to me and I might be totally biased because of it. Having lived in Westport, WA for nearly four years, I thoroughly enjoyed all of the detail that Tessa Bailey added into this story. From the description of the harbor and PNW vibes, down to the street names that I remember so well.

Anyone else had to do that 30 minute drive from Westport to Gray's Harbor Memorial Hospital because their S.O. was in the hospital after a boating accident? No? Just me and Piper? Okay then.

I realize Piper wasn't everyone's cup of tea. She comes off like a spoiled airhead for a while and I felt that. But the character development she had was amazing and I related so much to her experience of being dropped in this small, coastal town and wondering “where the heck am I?”

Loved this book. Loved the characters. Loved the smut. And loved the setting! Thank you Tessa Bailey for bringing this fond place back to life for me after so many years.
