Publisher's summary

WHAT IF YOU COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE?

Summer Brookes is about to do just that. Inspired by a disastrous New Year’s Eve, a box of old diaries, and a woman who may or may not be her Fairy Godmother, Summer realizes she’s wasting her life in a dead end job, and that she hasn’t achieved a single one of the ambitions she had as a teenager. She didn’t kiss her high school crush. She didn’t travel the world, and become a famous singer. She didn’t overcome her fear of flying, ride a motorcycle, or meet Taylor Swift. But now all of that’s about to change.

In a moment of drunken spontaneity, Summer impulsively books a one-way ticket to Spain, where her high school crush, Jamie, is now running a bar. While she’s there, she’s going to do all the things she never did when she was thirteen; she’s going to break free of her safe-but-dull life, and she’s going to start living a life without regrets. Oh, and she’s also going to kiss Jamie Reynolds. For real, this time. There’s just one problem. His name’s Alexander Fox, he’s in the seat next to her on the plane, and he’s the grumpiest man in the world: so it makes perfect sense that he’d be staying in her hotel too, wouldn’t it?

Can Summer shake off her new nemesis Alex for long enough to track down her first love and live the life she’s always wanted? Or does fate have something else in store for her?

Sweet Grumpy/Sunshine Romance

This was my first Amber Eve's book. I liked this grumpy/sunshine slow burn romance. The characters are well developed and interesting. Charlie Albers did a great job bringing this story to life. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Where's the credit

I love d That a thirty one year old women would cause the advice of a thirteen year old. Very cute story

Summer

Summer got on my everlasting nerves, she was always in her head, doubting herself, repeating herself over and over and over, Chloe her best friend was self absorbed

Summer

Cool Girl Summer is a funny and lighthearted romcom. It is good for a lazy afternoon, or snuggling up with a blanket while the fire roars in the fireplace. Some of these situations are a bit wild and unlikely, but still fun. Summer is struggling. She decides to take a trip. Alex, the unpleasant man that is complaining turns out to be seated next to her on the flight. They end up tossed together over and again. Ultimately, Alex is a good guy, and their romance develops. If you enjoy light hearted romcoms, then you may like this story. I received a free copy of this audiobook, and am leaving this honest review voluntarily.

Self discovery

The audio version of this book was very entertaining, with the narrator doing a great job with inflection and getting into character.

I was drawn into Summer’s story and her decision to see what life could be beyond her hometown and her “safe” predictable life. Where was the young girl who dreamed of so much more??? This is a thoroughly entertaining book as Summer explores what can be possible if she just lets herself overcome her fears. (Maybe even a special someone?).

Cool Girl Summer

I totally enjoyed this book! The storyline was very good. Narration by Charlie Albers was fun and fantastic, especially 'Rita'! I was given this book free for an honest review.

Laughs, Romance, and Perfect Narration

What a delightfully funny story! There were countless laugh-out-loud moments that had me chuckling throughout. This is one of those stories where you can appreciate the big picture without missing the little gems along the way. The character development and romance were incredibly well done, and I never felt the need to rush. If outside noise made me miss a word, I’d go back just to savor it all. Charlie Albers did an amazing job narrating—it was spot-on from beginning to end. Hats off to both the author and narrator for such an enjoyable read!

My bucket list

This is a fun laugh out loud story of Summer and her adventure to do things she always told herself she would. I love the scene at the beginning at the airport. The characters are full of life and on board to be there for Summer. This story made me think what would I do if I could change things from my past. It is worth the read because it will leave you with a smile on your face and rooting for the happy ending for Summer.
