Our Summertime Secrets by Victoria Jane

Thank you, @zooloosBT, for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Our Summertime Secrets is a young adult romance genre. This is book 2 of the series, and you can read it as a standaline as I did, but I will definitely read book 1 at some point. The front cover is gorgeous. The narratives are Lexie and Jake. Lexie has a best friend called Chloe, who has a brother called Jake. They both got close last summer, which was in book 1, but now it is one year later. The story is engaging and is very easy read. The characters are sweet and likable, and it was nice to see them develop through the book. I did love following their story. There were a few hard topics that were tackled in the story, but they worked very well in the plot. The story is written beautifully, and young adults will love this book. Enjoyable read, 5 stars.
