Same Time Next Summer by Annabel MonaghanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Argh! I read this with about 10 other books and forgot to write a review.
Sam and Wyatt were childhood sweethearts whose families spent every summer on Long Island at their beach houses. Then 'the thing' happened, they split up and Sam has been avoiding the Beach House ever since, choosing instead to spend all year in New York. However, her fiancé Jack is keen to plan their wedding at a local venue, over Sam's objections, and has insisted that they spend a few weeks at the Beach House, not realising how different everything will be.
Practically the first thing that happens is that Sam runs into Wyatt again, apparently he is organising a music festival in town. AS the weeks wile away, Sam recalls her bygone summers as a child with Wyatt and begins to compare and contrast Wyatt's easy-going, genuine kindness with Jack's (and his family's) snobbery.
Sam is going to have to decide whether she chooses the life she and Jack have created, her job, her apartment, the swanky wedding, etc or the life she had before.
I really enjoyed this and it is only now, several weeks later that I realise it has very similar bones to Sweet Home Alabama - totally different story but same (sort of) plot - IDK if that makes any sense? Anyhoo, that is still one of my favourite films so having a novel with the same vibes is a good thing in my book.
