I really appreciated this story and it was inspirational! It was a very inspiring story in a way that was unexpected.

This was a cute, quick read but was just a little predictable for me. It hooked me in at first but then the plot seemed to get more scattered and rushed. Still enjoyed it though. Thank you, NetGalley, for the ARC!

Say Yes Summer has been on my TBR list for a couple of years now. I've tried to start reading this a few times, and it is just not for me. Sorry! I'm sure someone else will love it!

This is the perfect summer read. It is fast paced, cute, and addicting. If you need a beach read to relax under the sun this one is for you.

This book was so cute and I will definitely be recommending it to my future students. I feel like a lit of students will be able to relate to Rachel and the road that she is on.

This book started out really great but it lost me partway through as Rachel did more and more things that I found annoying rather than charming. I really liked both Miles and Clayton (the two love interests) but I failed to be really invested in the romance and who she ended up with. I still enjoyed a lot of it and was happy I read it by the end. Quick, entertaining read.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. Rachel has always said no to extracurricular activities so that she can be the best and get into the best school. Now that she has, it's time to start saying yes. A great concept but too predictable for me.

This was such a cute story! Rachel is such a relatable character. I loved watching her character progression as she let go a little. Let herself have fun and not be perfect. The romance was super sweet. Overall a perfect summer read especially for fans of Morgan Matson and Kasie West.

Thank you to NetGalley for an copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Say yes to everything, Rachel thinks, why not? This was a pretty fun, summer/coming of age tale with a very likable heroine.

This was the perfect "light and fluffy" summer time read - perfect for a day at the beach (and ice cream cone). As cute as the premise was, I felt like the characters could've used a lot more development. Not necessarily a book I'd recommend to a friend... however I enjoyed the author's writing style enough to explore any of her future titles.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5

I liked this book but I felt like it could have given the ending more time to breathe and to fully develop. I could relate to Rachel as a smart high school kid who said a lot of no to high school experiences for fear of getting hurt and/or ridiculed. The lesson from this book is that it’s important to take risks and to say yes to new experiences but it’s also just as important to think about what your decisions will cost you.

3 Star Rating - Not one of my favorites recently for the YA's, but it was a quick and light read. Lots of little life lessons along the way and how saying yes to everything can change one's mindset. The plot wasn't super intriguing but it circled around and had a decent ending tying it all up.

Thanks, NetGalley, Delacorte Press, and Random House Children's for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

For all the high schoolers and YA’s trying to figure out how to make life choices this book is for them. Saying yes may have consequences as Rachel learns her last summer before college. A quick fun read with humor and romance.

Say Yes Summer by Lindsey Roth Culli is a cute young adult book, and my first book by this author. Rachel Brooks has graduated at the top of her class, all set for college, and ready to have a great summer. The problem is her best friend of leaving for the summer, and she has no other friends because all she has done is study. Rachel finds a book that encouraging her to just say yes and get out of her comfort zone. I found this book to be fun, with a sweet romance. I recommend this book for anyone who enjoys this genre.

Cute cover!

I initially thought this was going to be a self-help book and almost bypassed it.
I'm glad I took a second look and realized it was actually an YA book.
This book is cute! It was fun to read and easy to follow.
Great book overall.

I'll definitely be looking out for other work by this author.

This book really made me think back on what I was doing the summer before college and wishing that I'd been a little more like the protagonist. The trope of 'saying yes to everything' is a little worn and cliched but it works here. I'm not a huge fan of love triangles, especially ones where two points of the triangle don't know about each other. The fact that Rachel wasn't super transparent with the boys is probably fitting for her age but it did throw me out of the story. That said, I think that's a personal view and most readers wouldn't mind! It's a cute romcom and definitely the level of fluff we need right now!

An adorable summer read! This was super quick and I enjoyed navigating life through Rachel's eyes. It gave me the nostalgia of being a teen during the summer along with a cute romance. Everyone needs a book to convince them to start saying yes to move things and seeing Rachel say yes to opportunities I wish I had said yes to was so inspiring. A great quick read!

Say Yes Summer is a YA Contemporary Romance where you meet Rachel and her two love interests, Miles and Clayton. From the beginning, I knew I loved one a lot more than the other.(view spoiler) The chemistry & banter was there and I was so excited during the whole book to see how and if they would end up together and I'm glad to say Rachel ended up with the best choice ;)

Now I know I'm not the only one who got annoyed by Rachel when she messed up pretty badly by being with both of the guys without them knowing about the other and I was frustrated to see it all go down like I knew it would. However, the way she reacted after it, I felt like she learned from her mistake and wouldn't do anything like that ever again. I also loved her grandmother and how she taught her that saying yes to someone means saying no to someone else (that's not the only thing but it's one of the things that marked me.)

Overall, this was such a cute and addicting read. I'm so glad I read it but I'm also mad at myself that I didn't get to this book before today but better late than never!

(Thank you for letting me read and review an ARC via Netgalley)

This was a very cute book! I loved the cover and it's just the perfect summer romcom. It's definitely a fast read which is great. I loved the premise. It lacked a little development of characters and plot, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Cute quick and has a happy ending. Basically what happens when you say yes to everything. How people are viewed in your mind vs how they are in reality. Has tons of good lessons and no real problems.
