Problematic Summer Romance by Ali Hazelwood Review

What is wrong meets what feels right in this romance set in Italy by the New York Times bestselling author of Deep End. During a destination wedding in Sicily, 23-year-old Maya pursues a summer fling with her brother’s 38-year-old friend Conor, despite their problematic age gap.

2.5/5 stars – I wanted something light and fun that I could breeze through on a trip, and this definitely fit the bill! It was an entertaining read, even if it got a little frustrating at times. Pretty spicy, as with most Ali Hazelwood books, and also very easy to read.

It probably could have stayed a novella, as originally intended by the author, since the “will they or won’t they” aspect dragged on a bit. I also wasn’t the biggest fan of all the jumps back to the past, although they were definitely necessary to better understand Maya and Conor’s dynamic. Overall, it was a fun, bingeable romance that was exactly what I was in the mood for.
