Hello, Summer by Mary Kay Andrews Book Review

Hello, Summer by Mary Kay Andrews is not what I expected at all and was my introduction into Andrew’s immersive writing style.  

The novel started off quick and never dragged. I finished it in one sitting. As the story goes, more and more storylines start go get added. The clear writing helped this story stay easy to follow throughout. I was not expecting the mystery that took over the plot. Silver Bay was picturesque, and I found myself wanting to visit. The descriptions were beautiful and lucid.

I connected and loved each of the characters. Sean/Skelly had such a sweet and warm heart. I love the love he has for his mother and others. I enjoyed Sarah/Conley’s family dynamics. The family felt real and looked out for each other, even in adversity. I respected Conley for not backing down and compromising her values and morals. Conley and Sean’s back story was interesting and I admired the dynamic between them. Grandma’am was full of wisdom and love. I wanted to adopt her into my own family with her fierce love for her family and positivity.

The mystery kept changing, and I was shocked at several of the plot twists and reveals. I never had it figured out completely, which made it so enjoyable.  

Hello, Summer is the perfect book to read over the weekend or for a fun and quick beach read. This was my first book by Andrews, and it did not disappoint. I will definitely be reading more by her in the future. 

I received an advanced reader copy of this book. All opinions are 100% my own. Thank you, St. Martin’s Press, Mary Kay Andrews, and NetGalley
