Every Summer After is a huge inspiration for my novel too! Love a good dual timeline/coming to terms with regret/love story. I just finished That Summer by Jennifer Weiner (lots of Cape Cod - have you read it?). Tough topics but a good summer read. I want to read Sandwich by Catherine Newman next!
Oh, this makes me want to read you book even more now, Maria! ✨ I don’t know That Summer was set on Cape Cod! I’ll add that to my list. I keep hearing good things about Sandwich, but I’m dragging my feet because it also sounds like it kicks up some things. 😂 I look forward to hearing your thoughts!
My favorite book genre is romance and I love a good summer romance so I was excited about this one. I read Off the Beaten Path by Madison Wright and while it isn't set during the summer, the main female character, Wren, is the sunshine to Holden's grumpiness so Wren brings a lot of summery sunshine to the story. Plus, Holden's daughter is named June.
My favorite part of this book was the different relationships highlighted in the story from the enemies to lovers relationship of Holden and Wren to the super sweet relationships that Holden, and Wren, had with June and the important part she played in the main love story. I also loved the small "You've Got Mail" storyline that is thrown in at the beginning, too.
To bring the story to life, I decided to letter a quote from the book that references some droplets of paint on the floor of Holden's living room. (https://www.instagram.com/p/C9vJSEnS-a5/?img_index=1) Holden and Wren are next door neighbors and June had noticed that Wren's living room was painted yellow and she convinced her dad to paint their living room yellow as well, even though the rest of the house is neutral and darker colors.
Off the Beaten Path sounds like a great read! I’m also getting some Gilmore Girls vibes, except if there was no Rory and the story was about Luke, Lorelai and April (another month name)! I love the artwork you created and the thought behind it. 💛
