Cheri reviewed Strawberry Summer by Melissa Brayden
Review of 'Strawberry Summer' on 'Storygraph'
5 stars
Have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I've not been a fan of the last couple of books I read by the author and stopped reading her altogether the past couple of years but this one has taken over as my favorite Brayden book. The characters all sounded like different people and the story had some twists and turns that weren't predictable. Lots of honest emotion going on - both from the characters and from me. No tears though. I dropped no tears but did get a few lumps in my throat.
All of the characters that we spend any real time with had their own personalities and depth and I cared about them. The situations people found themselves in felt legitimate and I had no BS-calling moments.
Sorry Heart Block, there's a new champ in town.
I'd give it a 4.5 but rounding up for all the reasons …

Thanks to NetGalley and BSB for the opportunity to read and review it.
