Why read it?

1 author picked The Summer of Lost Letters as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I am a sucker for contemporary romances with a hint of historical sprinkled in, so when I saw that The Summer of Lost Letters took place on Nantucket (gorgeous), and followed a modern teenage girl whose late grandmother’s love letters to a man other than her grandfather mysteriously show up on her front steps, I knew it was for me.

From Erica's list on YA romances set during the summer.
