The publisher kindly provided me with a digital copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
A lighthearted and swoony contemporary YA romance by fan-favorite author Kasie West about a girl who finds that a summer spent at a family resort isn’t as bad as she imagined … and that falling in love is filled with heartache, laughter, and surprises!
After being betrayed by her best friend, Avery is hoping for a picture-perfect summer. Too bad her parents have dragged her and her sister to a remote family camp for the entire summer. And that’s not even the worst part. Avery also has to deal with no internet, a cute but off-limits staff member, and an always-in-her-face sister.
But what starts as a disaster turns into a whirlwind summer romance as Avery embarks on an unexpected journey to figure out what she truly wants and who she wants to be.
Sunkissed Review
After reading my first Kasie West book, I quickly fell in love with her writing and stories. She’s on my list of auto-buy authors and I have been so excited to read her newest release. I’m so happy I loved it!
Sunkissed follows Avery, who spends the summer at a summer camping resort with her family. While there, she meets new friends, a cute boy and discovers more about who she truly is.
One thing I always love about Kasie West’s books are her lovely characters. All of her characters are so relatable and it just makes reading the book extremely enjoyable. I really liked Avery and I loved seeing her grow because of her time at the camp.
Brooks is also a really great character. He definitely has a shell but it’s really sweet to see the way he opens up around Avery. And I loved seeing the relationship between Avery and her sister change from the beginning of the summer to the end.
The plot is a quintessential Kasie West book. It’s super sweet and charming with her signature witty dialogue. While it isn’t a plot that is new or goes outside the box, it’s a wonderful read. There’s music, friendship, swoon-worthy romance and moments of self-discovery. All of these things certainly keep you turning the page!
Overall, Sunkissed is a really sweet and charming contemporary romance that makes for a perfect summer read! With great writing, enjoyable characters and a fun outdoor setting, this book will certainly give you some Dirty Dancing vibes and leave you wanting more.
Rating: ★★★★☆
