The Summer I First Saw You

By: Elizabeth O'Roark

Narrated by: Jason Clarke, Samantha Brentmoor

Meet your new favourite couple in the breathtaking next book of the angsty SUMMER series - perfect for fans of Colleen Hoover and Mia Sheridan.
I wanted her out of my house.
Now I can't imagine her leaving at all.

Once upon a time, my buddy's younger niece was following me around the beach with stars in her eyes. Now Daisy's twenty-one, the loveliest thing I've ever laid eyes on, and blackmailing me into letting her stay for the summer.

If she's not bent over on my deck in yoga pants, she's in a bikini that covers far less. She makes me laugh when I want to stay pissed off and forces me to remember all the things I used to love. If only she weren't so damn young and so incredibly off-limits.

The sizzling tension between us is getting harder to resist, but giving in would destroy some of my oldest friendships. Worst of all, though?

It might destroy Daisy too.

Top Notch audio book ☺️

This is my second time listening to this book and loved it the first time, had to listen again. This book really didn’t disappoint ☺️😍

Brilliant!

This is the first of Elizabeth's books that I've listened to and OH WOW it will NOT be the last. The combination of Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke is utterly sublime, and I'm going to be looking for more books by this duo.

Great characterisation and storyline - this book pretty much won me over from the get-go and didn't let up. The teasing and taunting was delightful, along with the slow burn, and then a surprising turn into family pathos. Elizabeth really nails the mother/daughter dynamic, and I went from missing the summers I spent as much time as I could at the beach, to the gut-punch of revelations and the struggle of chasing someone else's dream. I didn't see that coming at all, and it brought so much more to the story than I thought I was getting. It was absolutely wonderful.

I'm not sure how much gushing I need to do at this point to really make it clear that I enjoyed it but ... yeah. Get it, love it. you're welcome.
