Sam lives by the mantra that it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
After the tragic loss of her husband, Sam built a new life around friends, her cat Coco and a career she loves. Fending off frequent set-ups and well-meaning advice to ‘move on’, Sam is resolutely happy being single.
But when Sam gets seconded to her firm’s Boston office for the summer, it is more than her career that is in for a shake-up. A spur of the moment decision to visit the idyllic beaches of Cape Cod could end up changing her life forever.
One thing is for sure, Sam won’t finish the summer the same woman who started it…
8 years on from the tragic accident that took her husband, Sam still hasn't really moved on. Well in some respects she has but in others such as even considering dating she refuses to do anything that may sully the memory of Kev.After the tragic loss of her husband, Sam built a new life around friends, her cat Coco and a career she loves.

As a slight workaholic she is desperate to get the 3 month placement in Boston, but when she's finally gets there things don't exactly work out as planned.
It is the new friendships with Barney as and Harry that make things start to improve out in the States. But as a reader it was the rather rude stranger which she then keeps having encounters with that kept me glued to the book.
I loved discovering the laid back life in Boston, and also the ideas for the campaign she's is working on in her job.
The whole book had a wonderful vibe to it, and just kept me wanting more.
I loved the location, the writing, the backstories, the humour and they way that Sam and Ethan developed over the summer.
It truly was an enjoyable summer to remember, and I would love to one day return to this setting and see how all the characters stories have developed - yet again from a Victoria Cooke book I would quite like a sequel!!
Thank you to Netgalley and HQ Digital for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
