SUMMER SEASON ON THE SEAFRONT by Katie Ginger Published June 10, 2019 by HQ Digital 4 STARS I enjoyed this book immensely. Sarah has had rotten luck with boyfriends. She yearns for Finn, the doctor she works for, to notice her. And she loves performing with the Greenley Players, where she's playing the lead in The Tempest. She's having a hard time getting into the character. There is a lot more to Sarah than meets the eye. She is estranged from her dad. He was in prison when her dear mother died, and she can't forgive him for that. Nate, an actor who is in hiding, ends up in Greenley-on-Sea. He agrees to help the cast with their production to take his mind off his worries. He works one-on-one with Sarah to help her understand the character, as well as figure out why she's struggling with it. Will Finn finally make a move on Sarah, or will Sarah begin to have feelings for Nate? I won't go into a lot of detail, but this was a charming book. I must thank NetGa
