So I‘m now 2/2 with Carley Fortune! I‘ve always been a sucker for summer-romance-at-the-lake and second chances. I may have found a new (to me) must read romance author!

A nostalgic celebration of summer in Brooklyn, where kids find joy in the streets and community.

Geared to kids ages 4 to 7, this book deals with every child's dream of making a summer vacation last forever. This book shows them how by using a handful of sand. #ISpyBingoJuly @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks
I‘ve been hearing huge praise for this book for about 15 years so I think my reading experience suffered a bit from sky high expectations. But it is charming, with some lovely nature writing and the relationship between the little girl and her elderly grandmother is touching. Sophia Jansson‘s delightful afterword underlined the strength of the connection, both to the people and place. The photo is an outer island in the Stockholm archipelago.
5⭐. You need to read the first book "Lawn Boy" before reading this one. Middle school level. Less than 200 pgs.

It was a little all over the place, too drawn-out, and not quite about what the synopsis says it's about. And if I wasn't too lazy to decide on a different book, it would've been a DNF.
