Same Time Next Summer: The unforgettable new escapist romance from the author of NORA GOES OFF SCRIPT! Paperback – 6 Jun. 2023

I think this story had a bit of everything – first love, heartbreak, redemption. Loved the characters, particularly Wyatt. Sam took a while to find herself but I did want her to get what she wanted. The sub-plot about the quirky parents was an interesting twist on the betrayal front. Really enjoyed the summer vibe and found it hard to put down. Highly recommended.

I've inhaled this book. The author's style perfectly captures the summer, the emotions, the passing of time in the story.The plot is interesting, but I must say that both the storyline (the premise of the first teenage love and the years-long fallout) and the alternating style of now-then (which isn't new, but still) really reminded me of Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren, yet another good book thay came 5 years prior to this one.The similarity is the only reason it's 4 and not 5 stars.

A great summer read. I enjoyed the story and the book wasn’t too long like some.

An easy read though entirely predictable. Nothing really happened and I didn’t really warm to Sam or Wyatt, particularly Sam. That being said, I did finish the book and I was looking for an undemanding read at the time.

I loved Nora Goes Off Script; it's one of my favourite romance novels, so Same Time Next Summer was an absolute must-buy. I'll admit, I started off feeling frustrated. I wanted to be sucked in. And yet. No sooner had the story begun, great swathes of back story was introduced, and at times I found it heavy-going, partly because it felt like a lot of 'telling' over 'showing'. However, once we got back to 'Now' I felt the story picked up again and I was racing to get to the end. In Wyatt I was hoping for Leo Vance v.2.0, and whilst Wyatt wasn't quite as swoony, I warmed to his salt-of-the-earth, surfer charm. Sam is very likeable and you really want her to get her HEA after all that painful heartache.Lovely characters (Jack was perfectly loathsome), a lovely setting (made me want to visit Long Island), this is a great read to soak up the sun with on the beach, on your sun lounger, cocktail in hand. And if you haven't read Nora Goes Off Script yet, what have you being doing with your life?!

An absolutely stunning read! So thoughtful, intriguing , tenderI truly felt like I was there, amazing characters , emotional real relatable

This was everything I wanted to read. Heartbreak. Love again. Friendship to lovers. Being happy but not truly just finding a safe place. I read this book in a few days.

After reading Nora Goes Off Script I was eager to get started on Annabel's second novel. And it didn't disappoint. Liked the two timelines running in the story, but it felt a bit jarring to me to have the past timeline in the third person whilst the present one in first. Other than that, it was the perfect summer read.

Loved it! Perfect summer read that captures your heart at any age. Revisiting a first love as an adult, something everyone thinks about.

Well written, easily digestible romance with great summer vibes. Loved the shift of POV and timelines. Liked the conflict keeping them apart and found it very realistic.

One of the best romances I’ve read in a while. The author describes the feelings in a way you end up feeling everything throughout the story. It is totally worth it.

In eine Rutsch durchgelesen. Eine ganz tolle Feelgood-Geschichte.

Sam and Wyatt were both believable and sympathetically drawn characters. Wyatt's dyslexia added an interesting dimension to the story.
