5 stars!!

This story was a perfect enemies to lovers romance! Rachel developed all of the characters so well! And of course Maxine was perfection!

Good story BUT

Good story, but dang…each book ends at a peak!! Thankfully this was the 3 book set from beginning to end! Absolutely hate books that do not complete a story and you must wait for the next in the series to be released.

New to me author was not a let down!

Rachel Van Dyken is a new to me author, and I will definitely read more by her. Her writing was very clean and she told a great story.

Over the summer takes place a friendenemies to lovers reconnect at Drama camp as they are camp director and coach. This follows the ups and downs as they reconnect and find the flaws in thierselves and become stronger as a couple.

Narration by Maxine Mitchell and Tyler Donne. Tyler Donne is new to me and he was alittle bit of a let down. To me he didn't fit this role and sounded a little juvenile.

This is a Standalone. Medium spice.

OKAY +

This series to me was just a little better than okay, in fact I couldn’t take another 3 hours of the whiny back & forth of the two main characters at the end. Too much philosophical babble of their sorry lives. There’s a whole lot of people in the world not feeling sorry for themselves with worse lives. I speed listened to the last part & ending just to finish. Overall idea was good, started off good but dragged on way too long to get to the “perfect” ending. Good try though, narrators were fantastic.

Summer Nights A++

This was an amazing love story. It had the highs and lows., laughs, craziness and fun. Without spoiling I did cry so hard at the end if book 2. I'm so glad all 3 books were in the one set. It kept me on the edge of my seat, I wouldn't have been satisfied to have to wait for the next book to come out. Rachel Van Dyken is an amazing writer.
