ARC Review: Tide Together by Melanie Summers

Publication Date: August 22, 2024

Tide Together was such a fun late-summer read with a hilarious plot and enjoyable characters. The chaos that brings Mac and Paige together is so true to the people that they are at the onset of this story. And their forced proximity afterwards is delightful from start to finish. 

One of the things I really enjoyed about this plot was how in the middle of the chaos, we see Paige learn to recognize the value she has to offer and to stand up for that. Whether that’s about her family or her job or her relationships, it’s beautiful to see her learn her worth in a way she would never have imagined. 

From the beginning of this book to the end, I was invested in Paige and Mac and their wild adventure. There wasn’t a single dull moment and I am so ready for more of Melanie Summers and the spin-off about Paige’s best friend Vivian- My Big Fat Beach Wedding

I received a free advance copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
