Sunny Shelly’s Review: Till Summer Do We Part by Meghan Quinn

From New York Times, USA Today, and Amazon Charts bestselling author Meghan Quinn comes a new laugh-out-loud summer rom-com.

“I got what I wanted. I became buddy-buddy with my boss in an instant. But the cost will be hefty…finding a husband by tomorrow.”

Scottie Price just started a new job, and it’s a real sausage fest. She’s the only woman on a team filled with Brads and Chads. Expecting a bachelor pad atmosphere, she is quickly corrected when she finds out everyone is happily married.

In an effort to impress her boss, Scottie mentions her nonexistent husband in a company meeting. But eagle-eyed Chad points out her lack of wedding ring. Panicked, Scottie creates a story about her unhappy marriage. Unfortunately for Scottie, her boss has a solution―a one-on-one session with the best marriage counselor in the Northeast, who happens to be her boss’s husband.

With no way out of her lie, Scottie agrees to see him. Frantic, she calls in help from her best friend who sets her up with his brother, an improv-obsessed millionaire.

Enter Wilder Wells. More than happy to take on the job, he teaches Scottie the main rule of improv: always say yes. But the rule backfires during the session when Wilder signs them up for an eight-day summer marriage camp with all of Scottie’s co-workers where she’ll have to share a cabin with her way-too-handsome fake husband.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Every time I think Meghan Quinn can’t possibly outdo herself, outdo herself she does! Till Summer Do Us Part is a must-read book for the summertime. Do yourself one better, and listen to it on audio, because Teddy Hamilton and Erin Mallon were PHENOMENAL in their duet narration as Wilder and Scottie.

Forced proximity, blind-ish date, best friend’s brother, fake marriage — all tropes that I love, and that MQ writes like a champ. But this time around, she has Scottie and Wilder pretending to be a married couple at a relationship summer camp for adults. It. Is. Hilarious. (I thought the etiquette scene in Bridesmaid by Chance was hilarious, and so many scenes in this book run a very close second.)

On top of the hilarity, awkwardness, and everything else that made Wilder and “Pips” so endearing were the deep conversations between the two. Scottie was hurt so badly (emotionally) when her marriage broke up. Her ex took her for granted, didn’t consider her feelings, and treated her like a roommate and not his wife. In just a few short days of knowing one another, Wilder far surpassed Scottie’s ex-husband. He is kind and considerate and does all the little things for a woman who is essentially a stranger (even if she is his brother’s best friend). And Scottie pushes Wilder to want to be better. He’s kind of afloat after selling an app and making a crapton of money, but his feelings for Scottie make Wilder want to confront the demons in his past and become a better, more emotionally available partner. There is such growth from the character from the start to the end of this book, but he never lost his charm or sense of humor.

And Stephen Dexter as the unorthodox therapist who runs the camp? I couldn’t get enough!

Don’t miss this audio. Seriously.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
