The Second Chance Summer by Rose Graceling-Moore is a sweet and emotional second-chance romance with a gorgeous Italian coastal setting. I really enjoyed the mix of romance, self-discovery, and the feeling of getting a fresh start when life doesn't go quite as planned. The FMC Anabel and MMC Luca have plenty of history between them, which made their interactions both frustrating and fun to read. I especially enjoyed Luca’s grumpy, artistic personality and watching the two of them work together while dealing with their unresolved feelings. The setting added such a warm, summery atmosphere that made this an easy book to escape into. I also appreciated that the story wasn't only about finding love again, but about figuring out what you truly want from life and having the courage to make a change. Overall, The Second Chance Summer was a charming and heartfelt summer read with romance, beautiful scenery, and plenty of second-chance feelings.
