Synopsis

From the two-time Sydney Taylor Honor author comes another sweet Nantucket-set summer romance, perfect for fans of Rachel Lynn Solomon and K.L. Walther.

Jordan Edelman’s messy dating days are over. After a few too many broken hearts, and a father who worries a bit too much, she’s sworn off boys—at least for the summer. And since she’ll be tagging along on her father’s research trip to Nantucket, she doesn’t think it’ll be too hard to stick to her resolution.

But hooking up with the cute boy on the ferry doesn’t count, right? At least, not until that cute boy turns out to be Ethan Barbanel. As in, her father’s longtime research assistant Ethan Barbanel, the boy Jordan has hated from afar for years. And to make matters worse, Jordan might actually be falling for him. 

As if that didn’t complicate her life enough, Jordan’s new summer job with a local astronomer turns up a centuries-old mystery surrounding Gibson’s Comet—and as she dives into her research, what she learns just might put her growing relationship with Ethan in jeopardy.

Goodreads review by Cathy on July 06, 2024

Not my favourite of the series, sadly. I loved the historical storyline of book 1 and adored the romance in book 2. But in this one, i felt lukewarm about both at best. The plot was very slow and I struggled to stay invested. I feel like I made it to the end of the book, and yet I still don't really......more

2024 Spring Bingo (#SpringIntoLoveBingo🌷): Yay, Space! Content Notes: (view spoiler)[heroine's mother died when when she was four (hide spoiler)] Hannah Reynolds continues to be one of the best YA contemporary writers out there.

I adored this book. It was more than just a swoony summer romance although it was that too. Jordan was dealing with a lot of different things emotionally. I loved her journey through all these issues. I really enjoyed her research and the small story within the story.......more


Quotes

“A story of self-discovery peppered with great banter [and] a minor historical mystery. Light, sweet, and a little salty: just beachy.” —Kirkus Reviews

“With an enchanting setting, sharp banter, and an emotionally grounded story, Reynolds' novel is sure to sweep teen romance fans off their feet.” —Booklist

“As with other titles in this series about the large, loving, and wealthy Barnabel family, the book shines when the warm and headstrong family is interacting with each other. Jordan’s self-aware and realistic inner-monologue is a strength. A comfy summer romance with STEM themes.”SLJ
