What Do I Think About The Book?
Summer of Love is a great romance book! Really good pacing and the characters are great (except Drew because he is a fool)! I like how everyone is supportive to Clara when she has issues. I would say that Clara and Jesse are great with each lover! I notice some issues on some parts, but that doesn't stop me from finishing a lovely book. Overall, I enjoy it! Check out Summer of Love if you like friends to lover and slow burn! One more thing, one of the tropes is friends to lovers!

Synopsis:
Clara Henry wasn’t supposed to need a plus one for her best friend’s wedding. She was already dating one of the groomsmen, and he was supposed to be her fiancé by the time the wedding rolled around.
But Drew ruins Clara’s proposal plans and breaks up with her instead, leaving the plus one position open and ready to use.
Enter Jesse Bounds.
Jesse moved in across the hall from Clara three years ago and has been a little bit in love with her since the moment she shouted at him from across the hall.
They’ve been friends and writing buddies ever since, and with the bride’s seal of approval, Clara invites Jesse to Becky and Gavin’s wedding.
In the South of France. And they have to share a room.
He says yes, no questions asked.
Clara is convinced that won’t be a problem. They are just friends. But Jesse isn’t so sure.
Under the summer sun, tensions start to rise as Clara realises that maybe there is something more between her and Jesse. There is no escaping the casual touches that feel a little less casual the more they happen. Or the way Jesse makes her feel cared for in a way she hasn’t felt for a long time.
As the line between friends and lovers blurs, will Clara and Jesse fall into something more, or are some people meant to just stay friends?
