Publisher's summary

“Bursting with the magic of first love, it’s everything I want in a summer romance.” —Carley Fortune, #1 New York Times bestselling author of EVERY SUMMER AFTER

Named a Best Book of Summer by Real Simple • Reader’s Digest • Country Living • The Skimm • BookBub • GoodReads

Beach Rules:
Do take long walks on the sand.
Do put an umbrella in every cocktail.
Do NOT run into your first love.

Sam’s life is on track. She has the perfect doctor fiancé, Jack (his strict routines are a good thing, really), a great job in Manhattan (unless they fire her), and is about to tour a wedding venue near her family’s Long Island beach house. Everything should go to plan, yet the minute she arrives, Sam senses something is off. Wyatt is here. Her Wyatt. But there’s no reason for a thirty-year-old engaged woman to feel panicked around the guy who broke her heart when she was seventeen. Right?

Yet being back at this beach, hearing notes from Wyatt’s guitar float across the night air from next door as if no time has passed—Sam’s memories come flooding back: the feel of Wyatt’s skin on hers, their nights in the treehouse, and the truth behind their split. Sam remembers who she used to be, and as Wyatt reenters her life their connection is as undeniable as it always was. She will have to make a choice.

Perfect Easy Summer Reading

Loved it! Was invested in the characters and the storyline throughout the whole thing. Wish there were a few more chapters added to the ending.

Perfect summer read

Sweet, simple summertime read. Classic love story with a twist. Enjoyed the narrator’s inflection throughout the novel as well.

Good story, good narration

I enjoyed the story and the narration. It wasn’t the best book I’ve ever purchased, but I was not disappointed. I will read more books by this author.

The summer read you are looking for!

I LOVED this book! Annabel Monaghan captured first love, lost love, and finally loving the real person you are beautifully! The narrators were amazing (which sadly isn’t always the case) and added to the beauty of this story. Move this book to the top of your list now!

Hope there's a sequel! (contains spoilers)

I bought this audible on a whim while waiting for one I pre-ordered to come in. I am so glad I did! I loved this book so much that after I finished it, I listened to the last 6 chapters again. I enjoyed how the main character took awhile, but finally was true to herself.

SPOILER AHEAD

I respected how Sam realized that the problem was with her not being honest about who she was rather than making Jack out to be the bad guy. I also respected how she stood up for her parents. I loved the Sam and Wyatt ending. Please please do a sequel! I want to see Sam and Wyatt get married and have kids, and I want to see Gracie grow up. I will read this author again.

Pretty good beach read

The author’s previous book felt pretty singular and fully realized.

This one felt more generic and much less polished but still a decent beach read.
