"Say Yes Summer" by Lindsey Roth Culli [Review]

I am a fan of Morgan Matson and rom-coms, so that's why I first picked up this book.

The book is about overachiever Rachel, who when the book starts out has just graduated high school at the top of her class. But she's spent most of high school saying no to dances, parties, and boys. When she finds her Nonna's book "A Season of Yes", she decides to make her summer before college a season where she says yes to new experiences. Through this summer, she rekindles an old friendship, and finds love.

When thinking of this book, a phrase comes to mind: "It isn't about the destination, it's the journey along the way". That, I feel, definitely describes this book. It isn't about what Rachel finds, but how she finds it that makes this book entertaining. Some of the places are the beach, a fair, a 1920s "Dine Around" that are particularly fun.

This is definitely an enjoyable new experiences/romantic comedy summer book, one that any romance teen fan would enjoy.
