I don't, I really, I, you know, so I really struggled with whether or not that should be on the list, but I do think that how to go, how to kill a guy in 10 dates would be a great way for Carrie to start off her summer reading.

It's fast.

It's, it's own kind of silly and it's,

it has a satisfying ending.

So I think it's a great way to just kind of set the tone and just like get one under your belt really, really quickly.

Now, then I did the same thing that you did with Carly Fortune, but I actually came up with a different result on a couple of levels.

So I asked a bunch of people who I know who really like Carly Fortune a lot.

And I said, for someone who's brand new, what is going to be the most

purely satisfying summer read if you really want a satisfying summer romance.

And to a person, they all said, every summer after.

It's her debut.

And my friend said, it's the platonic ideal of a lake bag book.

Dual timeline, first love at a Canadian lake, and it has that ache of summer people finding each other.

So everybody who I talked to said,

that Every Summer After would be great.

It has 911,000 ratings.

It's got an average 4.17 on Goodreads.

So my second read for her, Every Summer After by Carly Fortune.

Let's finally rip the bandaid off and get a Carly Fortune under your belt.

And then, of course, duh.
