This is the perfect start of summer book! Chef Samantha, in between jobs, heads home to Martha’s Vineyard for the summer to watch her teenage half brother while her dad and stepmom head off on a European vacation. On the ferry she meets a guy named Ben, and then they meet again on island. Sam has dyslexia and is convinced dating a librarian like Ben will never work, but Ben proves her very very wrong. There’s also a mystery element as Sam helps Ben find out who his father is. I really enjoyed the book and found it very charming, heartwarming, and funny. Highly recommend!
