Plotting Summer by Jess Heileman
MY REVIEW: This was such a fun, summery romcom that felt perfect for reading on a sunny afternoon. ☀️📚
I was hooked by the story right away and loved the lighthearted, feel-good atmosphere. The romance was sweet, and there were plenty of moments that made me smile along the way.
While I personally would have loved a little more character development and a faster pace in some sections, I still enjoyed spending time with these characters and seeing their story unfold✨
One of my favorite parts of the book was the side characters. Heath had me laughing more than once, and Beau quickly became another favorite. Their interactions with Tristan added so much humor and charm to the story. 😂🤍
The ending took a little longer to get to than I expected, but I’m always a fan of a happy ending, and this one left me smiling. 🥹💕

BLURB: The book is always better than the movie. But occasionally, life is better than the book.
Ten years ago I made a mortifying, life-altering mistake. Now, this once seemingly insignificant choice is threatening to wreck my entire existence. And possibly throw Tristan Palmer—my next-door-neighbor and the guy I’ve had a secret crush on for the entirety of my life—into the fray unaware.
The mistake?
I am Sunny Palmer. As in the anonymous, best-selling author of over a dozen beloved romances and renowned thief of Tristan’s last name. Okay, not renowned yet, thank the high heavens! But that news will spread like wildfire if people discover that this introverted book nerd is the woman behind the pen name. And the fact that my first book, Secret Crush, is Tristan’s and my fictionalized love story leaves zero room for calling it anything but what it is—a travesty of greatest proportions.
That’s why NO ONE can know! Ever!
So it’s wretched luck that when I finally visit Sunset Harbor, the small-town island where I grew up, I run into the still heart-stopping, book-boyfriend-worthy man himself. And shockingly, Tristan seems intent on reminding me what the island has to offer. Because that’s what friends do.
Logic demands I resist his charm and guard my secret at all costs, which is why it’s vastly unfortunate that Tristan Palmer was and always will be … my greatest weakness.
Plotting Summer is a small-town island romantic comedy with the perfect amount of swoon and none of the explicit scenes or language. Read the rest of the Falling for Summer series–seven standalone romances with interconnected characters, all falling in love in Sunset Harbor.
