The Summer of Yes

This book was really cute!

Kelsey gets ran over on her way to work and ends up in a room with the rich and aloof and much older Georgina which makes for the start of a super unlikely friendship and the author did something really clever and turned the grumpy/sunshine trope into a friendship between 2 very different women. kelsey has this hairbrained idea that her and Georgina should start saying yes to the things they normally say no to and it sends them on one heck of adventure.

I thought the book was funny and heartwarming. The narrator did a fabulous job of bringing the book to life for me and I highly enjoyed the whole thing.

I loved the underlying moral to this story. It's never too late to reach out for the things you want.

4 stars! I need to get more books from this author.

This one's for all the feel-good rom-com lovers! It's about Kelsey, a New Yorker and editor who lives a busy life in the big city and always says ‘no' to everything, resulting in an unsatisfying life. But she's so stuck in her ways and struggles to open up, until she ends up in the hospital and meets the older famous makeup-mogul Georgina Tate, who is so much like Kelsey. Georgina is dying and has no relationship with her family, which makes Kelsey realise this is not the life she wants for herself. So Kelsey convinces Georgina to embark on a summer of saying yes, which ends up changing both of their lives. The result is an easily digestible, cute, summery, inspiring, slightly cliché popcorn-read of a story. Perfect as a palate cleanser between heavier books or as a vacation beach read.
