It Happened One Summer (Bellinger Sisters, #1) by Tessa Bailey - A Review

This one was fun, but it didn’t fully win me over. It has that classic opposites attract setup with a big city girl dropped into a small coastal town, and it definitely leans into the charm and the steamy moments.

Piper is a lot at first, but she grew on me a bit as the story went on. I liked seeing her figure things out and find her footing outside of her usual world. Brendan is solid as the grumpy, steady counterpart, but their dynamic didn’t always feel as swoony to me as I expected.

The chemistry is there, and the banter can be fun, but parts of the relationship felt a little rushed or surface level. I wanted a bit more emotional depth to really balance out the physical side of things. The small town setting is cozy though, and that added a nice comfort read feel.

Overall, it’s an easy, entertaining romance with some great moments, but it didn’t quite stick with me. Good for a light, quick read, just not a standout for me.

★★★
