ARC Review: Summer Skies Over Starr’s Fall by Kate Hewitt

Publication Date: February 17, 2026

Summer Skies Over Starr’s Fall was the gentle, sweet romance between Dan and Zoe that we all needed. Starr’s Fall is the most idyllic small town setting to fall in love. Dan and Zoe’s worlds collide all at once in Zoe’s ice cream shop, and from there, their story was a journey of healing, patience, and of course, love. 

Much of this story is centered around Dan’s teenage daughter, Sophie, and her lived experiences. You can really see all of these characters grow together, which truly is beautiful. I loved seeing Sophie have individual relationships with both Zoe and Dan and watching them go through ups and downs together was so meaningful. 

This book was tender and warm, with very low spice for those readers who prefer it that way! Kate Hewitt’s stories are small town romance at its best, full of found family and beautiful romances. Summer Skies Over Starr’s Fall was emotional and heartfelt and I enjoyed every moment! 

Thank you to Boldwood Books for the opportunity to read and review this book! I received a free advance copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are my own.

ARC Review: Enter the Villa by Anna Peele

Publication Date: May 19, 2026 As a longtime Love Island fan, Enter the Villa was fascinating. Hearing from production about the stereotypes of various characters on the show, how the show morphed over time, and how the show became the mega popular force it is today was incredibly interesting. It truly was a look behind…
