WOW! That’s it.

I absolutely adored this book, and I cannot wait to find my own Parker Warren. The banter, the tropes, the setting (NYC, I may be a little biased), the plot! This book was everything I could want in a romcom set in NYC visiting places I love and adore, and places I want to go to (I’m looking at you Cloisters) I felt like I was reading a Meg Ryan film. The characters were original and the extremely relatable, I saw maybe a little too much of myself in Elle! Summer in the City was a fantastic contemporary romance debut and it will be my personality for the next 6-9 months. I cannot wait to see what else Alex Aster writes!

This Billionaire romance was fun to read but was frustrated with the main character.

Elle and Parker meet in a nightclub where there's a stairwell hook up, but afterwards a not-so-nice exchange. Two years later Elle is back in New York for the summer and her next-door neighbor is Parker. Parker convinces Elle to be his fake date for the summer but as time moves on feelings start to happen on both sides, but Elle can't get over the exchange from two years ago.

Summer in the City by Alex Aster was an okay read for me. I had never read any of Alex Aster's previous works because they never really called my attention but I was very curious to see how an adult romance novel from her would pan out. I'm glad I read it. It was fun, it was a romance. I wouldn't say it was memorable, the writing was okay for me, nothing too special or memorable. Overall, a basic romance novel.
