I first read Elin Hilderbrand’s trilogy of the Paradise novels and absolutely loved them! Next I read 28 Summers, and loved it even more. When I got nearly to the end, I cried. I loved Jake and Mallory and didn’t want their love affair to end! I’ve read hundreds of books, but this one, I didn’t want to end! I still get teary eyed when I think of this novel. That means to me that it was so well written! I’m looking forward to reading more if Elin’s novels, but I know that 28 Summers will probably be my favorite!!
I loved this book. After I read it I re-read it. Just loved the characters.
