What a wonderful debut! The exploration of identity and self-discovery added depth to the narrative, making it more than just a love story. If you're a fan of emotional, character-driven tales, "Seven summer weekends" is a compelling read that will resonate long after you've turned the last page.

The writing is heavily narrative and I just wasn’t gripped. I stopped after chapter 2 (5%). Probably three to four stars for the target.

Thank you to NetGalley and Berkley for the ARC.
