I read this at the beginning of June and just realized I never reviewed it. The problem: I couldn't remember anything about the book.
After I skimmed through the book, the plot quickly came back to me. A girl decides she's tired of missing out and decides she'll say yes to every opportunity that summer. That didn't play a big of a part as I thought it would – I imagined way more shenanigans. I didn't even mind the love triangle, which is very rarely the case.
It sounds terrible that I couldn't remember a book I read barely two months ago, but I think that's ok. It was fun to read, and sometimes that's all you need out of a book. Say Yes Summer is a perfect summer read - you enjoy it while you're reading, and you can reread it next year.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I did really connect with Rachel in the beginning as I am also a “no” person but after that.. meh. I wish this was focused more on Rachel and her self growth and friendship rather than boys and a love triangle. the things Rachel says yes to are pretty underwhelming (goes to two parties, drives a couple hours to Canada, and goes on a carnival ride) and I could have absolutely done without the love triangle and cheating aspect. as soon as both boys were introduced in the beginning, I pretty much knew exactly how the story was going to play out. not the worst thing I've ever read but just predictable and underwhelming.
