Another incredible read by Meghan Quinn。 Although I wanted to throat punch Roxane 90% of the time。 Tessa and Myles are perfect together。 Tessa has always been attracted to Myles from when she was younger。 She couldn’t wait for summer vacation in Greece every year。 Although she never spoke to Myles or even knew his name she couldn’t wait to see him at the resort。 Never knowing that he was the owner’s son。 For the last seven years however， he was not there。 She never knew why but was disappointed Another incredible read by Meghan Quinn。 Although I wanted to throat punch Roxane 90% of the time。 Tessa and Myles are perfect together。 Tessa has always been attracted to Myles from when she was younger。 She couldn’t wait for summer vacation in Greece every year。 Although she never spoke to Myles or even knew his name she couldn’t wait to see him at the resort。 Never knowing that he was the owner’s son。 For the last seven years however， he was not there。 She never knew why but was disappointed that he was no longer there。Now there for her sister’s wedding she sees him。 Tessa has always been shy。 Not very outgoing， or forward。 That was all her twin， Roxane。Myles has always looked forward to the summer because he knew Tessa and her family spent it at the resort every year。 He would always seek out Tessa without her knowing。 He never made his attraction known to her either。Now they find themselves together because of what her sister and their friends are trying to do to Tessa。 That stupid contract they wrote back in high school。The best thing to come out of that is Tessa and Myles both realize their attraction to each other and she is finally comfortable around him to allow him to see the real Tessa。 They are absolutely perfect together。 They make the most of their time together and realize this isn’t just a vacation fling。 This is fate and that forevers are made of。How can they make it work when his life is in Greece and hers is in NY。 Besides， she has to be there for her sister and the rules of the contract。 She is putting everything and everyone else first and trying to fix everything。 Can she finally start taking care of herself and allowing herself to have her own happily ever after。 For her and Myles to be together forever。 Is it finally her time to be happy and make a life with Myles。 Their feelings for each have finally been admitted。 Can they find a way to make it work？ Where there is a will there is a way。 The timing is perfect。 Love will always find a way。 。。。more

I loved this！！！ I started reading Meghan Quinn for her sports romantic comedy。 But I love when she ventures outside of the sports romance because she shows just how versatile she really is。 The story takes place in a beautiful backdrop。 I find myself identifying heavily with Tessa。 She’s smart， a little unsure of herself， and a people pleaser。 This story is just as much about her connecting with her childhood crush as it is about finding herself。 Tessa’s twin sister is getting married at their c I loved this！！！ I started reading Meghan Quinn for her sports romantic comedy。 But I love when she ventures outside of the sports romance because she shows just how versatile she really is。 The story takes place in a beautiful backdrop。 I find myself identifying heavily with Tessa。 She’s smart， a little unsure of herself， and a people pleaser。 This story is just as much about her connecting with her childhood crush as it is about finding herself。 Tessa’s twin sister is getting married at their childhood vacation getaway in Greece and the she plus their two best friends are on a quest to find Tessa the love of her life by any means necessary。 Mix in a vintage bottle of Britney Spears perfume and a ridiculous friendship contract and chaos ensues！！！ While Tessa attempts to avoid these shenanigans at all costs， she finds herself connecting with her childhood crush， Myles， and learning to stand up for herself。 Like all Meghan Quinn books， the situations are hilarious， the banter is fantastic， the chemistry is on fire， and the characters are *chef’s kiss*。 Be sure to check this out！！！I was provided an ARC via NetGalley - Thank you！！！ 。。。more

A heartwarming romcom to spice up your spring break。 As always we get a lot of heart with our laugh out loud moments。 A bit over the too at some points but still somehow made the story work。 Loved seeing how Myles helped Tessa see herself fully。 I’m unsure about Roxane but that may be own sibling boundary issues。 Still a cute vacation story that just solidified a much needed trip to the romantic Mediterranean coast。

Hmm。 I'm giving this 2。5 stars rounded up because the book did pick up partway through， but if this hadn't been by an author I really like， and if it hadn't been an advance review copy， I probably wouldn't have got that far。 For the first part， while this author usually does madly comic scenes so well， Tessa's outlandish reactions were just too much - more cringeworthy than amusing。 And then there was the sudden appearance of the contract。。。 a group of women in their thirties absolutely insistin Hmm。 I'm giving this 2。5 stars rounded up because the book did pick up partway through， but if this hadn't been by an author I really like， and if it hadn't been an advance review copy， I probably wouldn't have got that far。 For the first part， while this author usually does madly comic scenes so well， Tessa's outlandish reactions were just too much - more cringeworthy than amusing。 And then there was the sudden appearance of the contract。。。 a group of women in their thirties absolutely insisting on sticking to teenage rules （which they got notarized？ seriously？！）， including never ever ever living more than ten miles apart？ Just。。。 no。 Clea， Lois and Roxane （especially Roxane） seemed unbelievably immature， and whenever they were on the page I had no time for them。 However， as Tessa and Myles developed their relationship it became a better read， and I liked how the pair of them played out， having to balance what they wanted with what they felt they ought to want。 Overall though， not quite what I was expecting。Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the advance review copy。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

Tessa spends every summer with her family at their favorite vacation spot in Santorini Greece。 Where she would crush on Myles the owner of the resorts son。 Tessa hasn’t seen Myles at the resort in 7 years while he has been in New York living with his mother。 Tessa comes to Santorini for her sisters wedding where she finally sees Myles again after 7 years。 And she is still crushing on him and little does she know he is also been crushing on her too。Tessa is an awkward person， she babbles on when Tessa spends every summer with her family at their favorite vacation spot in Santorini Greece。 Where she would crush on Myles the owner of the resorts son。 Tessa hasn’t seen Myles at the resort in 7 years while he has been in New York living with his mother。 Tessa comes to Santorini for her sisters wedding where she finally sees Myles again after 7 years。 And she is still crushing on him and little does she know he is also been crushing on her too。Tessa is an awkward person， she babbles on when she is in uncomfortable situations。 She is nothing like her twin sister who is flashy and loves attention。I love seeing how the relationship between Myles and Tessa unfolds。 They go from both secretly crushing on each from afar to full blown falling in love。 There is drama。。 so much drama。 And there is parts that made me really laugh。 I really enjoyed reading this book！ This is only the second Meghan Quinn book I have read and I cannot wait to read more。 。。。more

I really enjoyed the banter and awkwardness of the main character。 There were definitely times where I laughed out loud while reading。I do think this is a good， cute， entertaining beach read。 But there were a few things that prevented me from loving it。 I think the friend group/twin sabotaging Tessa went on for a little too long and was a little too extreme- I found myself skimming some of those sections because it was starting to annoy me。 They acted like teenagers instead of women in their 30s I really enjoyed the banter and awkwardness of the main character。 There were definitely times where I laughed out loud while reading。I do think this is a good， cute， entertaining beach read。 But there were a few things that prevented me from loving it。 I think the friend group/twin sabotaging Tessa went on for a little too long and was a little too extreme- I found myself skimming some of those sections because it was starting to annoy me。 They acted like teenagers instead of women in their 30s。 I enjoyed the development of the relationship between Tessa and Myles and the growth of the relationship between Tessa and her sister。 The conflict that arises due to a long distance relationship was relatable and very well done。 There was some good spice， although holy moly it was a slow burn to get there。 Pick this up if you’re looking for a beach read with humor， love， and themes of growing up。Thank you for the advanced copy。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

I have been a fan of Meghan Quinn for a while so this pains me to leave a review with this rating。 With that being said where this was a well written book it was not what I have become accustomed to with her work。 Where I enjoyed the sibling/friend antics to some extent I also had a hard time with some of the characters and their antics。 Told from a dual POV between Myles and Tessa their story has been one in the making since their childhood。Tessa， timid twin to her sister Roxane has had a suspe I have been a fan of Meghan Quinn for a while so this pains me to leave a review with this rating。 With that being said where this was a well written book it was not what I have become accustomed to with her work。 Where I enjoyed the sibling/friend antics to some extent I also had a hard time with some of the characters and their antics。 Told from a dual POV between Myles and Tessa their story has been one in the making since their childhood。Tessa， timid twin to her sister Roxane has had a suspected unrequited crush on Myles， a boy she has seen every year when on vacation at a resort in Greece since childhood。 A crush she has had since her early teen years。 After one embarrassing moment， Myles disappears for 7 years only to bump into her when Tessa has returned to the resort with her sister and their friends before her sister's impending nuptials and when she least expects to see him again。 In what was supposed to be a relaxing and bonding trip between siblings and friends turns into an all out sibling war where at times was not pretty at times。 What Tessa gets in the end is her feelings for Myles expressed and a partner in thwarting her sister's plans for her and eventually a chance with Myles that the two have danced around for years。Myles， son of the resort owner has returned to Greece after going to school to repair his relationship with his father and learn/build the family resort business。 He finds that his father remains stubborn and hurt relegating him to menial jobs around the resort and insisting that he make appointments with his to see each other and communicate only to have the two be even more torn apart at the end。 He stumbles into Tessa and the two team up - him to help her with her sister issue and she helps him convince his father that his plans for the resort are good financially。 What he also gets is the knowledge that they lived in the same city - living close to one another - and never running into each other， the ability to express that he too had a crush on her and the chance to explore those feelings。This well written story of star crossed love was well written but the secondary story between the siblings and their friends did bother me。 I felt that Roxane was a shallow character and cruel at times in how she treated Tessa to the point of abusive。 I also had a hard time with the two best friends of the pair of siblings just going along with the plans of Roxane making me question whether they were truly friends of both siblings or just Roxane to then turn the tables on Tessa at the end of the book and call her out on her behavior for events leading up to the trip。 I also did not like that Tessa after finding the strength to stand up for herself returned to her old ways once she returned to NYC with Roxane and was willing to throw things away with Myles。Overall， where this was a good read that anyone with siblings can relate to， I still struggled with it and at times thought that the plot moved a little slow in places。 。。。more

As an AI language model， I don't have personal opinions， but "Vacation Wars" is a non-fiction book written by Richard Ratay。 The book reflects on Ratay's childhood memories of family road trips during the 1960s and 1970s， before the era of smartphones and GPS。 The author’s story is lighthearted but sentimental， offering insight into family dynamics and the charm of old-fashioned travel。 Overall， the book is a nostalgic and fun read for those interested in travel， history， and family dynamics。
