Summer at Tiffany's (At Tiffany's #2) by Karen Swan

25315497

From Goodreads

A wedding to plan. A wedding to stop. What could go wrong?

Cassie loves Henry. Henry loves Cassie. With a Tiffany ring on her finger, all that Cassie has left to do is plan the wedding. It should be so simple but when Henry pushes for a date, Cassie pulls back.

Henry's wild, young cousin, Gem, has no such hesitations and is racing to the aisle at a sprint, determined to marry in the Cornish church where her parents were wed. But the family is set against it, and Cassie resolves to stop the wedding from going ahead.

When Henry lands an expedition sailing the Pacific for the summer, Cassie decamps to Cornwall, hoping to find the peace of mind she needs to move forwards. But in the dunes and coves of the northern Cornish coast, she soon discovers the past isn't finished with her yet? 

My thoughts

On paper I should have enjoyed this one more than I did. Having read and enjoyed The Paris Secret by her previously, I gave that a solid 4 stars or 8/10. However, this one didn't quite hit the mark for me. 

Cassie loves Henry and Henry loves Cassie. This should have been a good romantic read and a quick read at that. It took me some time to get through it, putting it to one side quite regularly as it wasn't just gripping me. I can't really put my finger on what the problem was and the reason why I didn't enjoy it as much as I should. Possibly, my reading mojo wasn't always there. 

I did find the second half of the book an easier read and certain aspects of it did keep me engaged, wanting to know what happened as a result of events that occurred.

If you fancy proving me wrong and giving this a better score than 3 stars or 6/10, then grab yourself a copy of it and settle down with something cold and wet to drink, as the temperatures rise outside.
