Another absolutely stunning book from Heidi! It was amazing being back in Wynmouth. This is my favourite book location ever and the series I would most like to be part of in real life.

A very summery themed book, set by the seaside and amidst an old estate too for that countryside/nature vibe. Not the most light hearted read ever with some family issues as a main theme throughout and some previous relationship problems too. That being said, thoroughly enjoyed the development of the story (along with the involvement of the little cat!).

Thanks to the publishers and Netgalley for an advance copy of this book in exchange for a review.

Perfect summer holiday read! Just wish I'd been reading it by the pool.

I always get excited when a new Heidi Swain book appears and Best Summer Ever didn't disappoint.
When Daisy is forced to return to Wynbrook after her relationship ends, and with no job, her already tense relationship with her parents is further strained.
Working at the local pub, then at the beach café, doesn't work out for her - although she does manage to meet American tourist, Josh.
Gradually the tide turns on Daisy's fortunes and things start to look up.
Wynbrook is the place of dreams - I wish it was real!
Another fab read from Heidi Swain.

An enjoyable, light read with enjoyable and relatable characters. Daisy. the main character is somewhat of a wild and flaky petulant sort, even if she has her reasons, it's not endearing. However, her friendships and never give up attitude lead her to the life she had wanted but was manipulated away from.
Having broken up with her boyfriend, her mum and dad aren't enthusiastic about her return.
Dear olde Algy gently calms her down and as she softens and opens herself up to life.
Josh, the hot American is sensual and fun. A lovely summer, poolside/ garden read.

This is certainly a summer to remember for Daisy as she returns to Wymbrook and her parents. Daisy’s Mum and Dad both work at the Manor, whose elderly endearing owner Algy has always had a soft spot for Daisy. She hopes to move on with her life after fleeing her cheating boyfriend.
As Daisy arrives in her dilapidated car, she almost runs over Josh, an American guy who has also just arrived in Wynnouth. A spark is ignited between them but it is not plain sailing as they both have secrets of the past to overcome.
I loved returning to Wynmouth and enjoyed the characters in this Author’s 20th book. Well done Heidi, keep them coming!
My thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster publishers for the arc of this delightful romantic fiction novel.

I’m a fan of Heidi’s so was happy to receive this for an unbiased review. Daisy is coming back to her childhood home, having broken up with her boyfriend. Just as she arrives in the village,she nearly knocks down Josh who is visiting from the US. Daisy isn’t looking forward to moving back home and telling her parents she has broken up with Laurence as they thought he was great. Daisys childhood home is in Wynbrook Manor where her mum and dad work for Algy,dad as a gardner and her mum looks after the Manor House. Daisy has a strained relationship with her parents,especially her dad. Josh has rented a cottage next to the pub. Josh and Daisy are attracted to each other but he is only in the village for a short time and Daisy needs to find a new job but they decide to have a summer fling and see where it goes. Algy is so pleased to see Daisy,he sees her more like a grand daughter. He is estranged from his son and grandson and worries about the estate. Daisys friend Nick works in the farm shop and her friend Penny is a teacher who finds herself running the local cafe during the summer holidays but it’s something she hankers after, Daisy gets a job working in the pub but she’s not very good at it. You should read the book and see how everyone’s life’s intertwines and how things all turn out. You won’t be disappointed.

I enjoy everything this author writes, and loved returning to Wynmouth and catching up with some familiar characters from previous books. Initially I did find main character Daisy to be quite self-absorbed and her relationship with Josh a bit all-consuming or too much too soon. But of course my feelings changed when past misunderstandings were resolved and Daisy found her true path. And so as expected this was another charming and heartwarming read from one of my favourite authors.

I read Best Summer Ever back in January and it made me dream of the sea, summer, fantastic friendships, and wonderful romance. Also, experience has taught me that if you are looking for uplifting and immersive stories you can’t ever go wrong with a Heidi Swain’s novel.

The protagonist of the novel is Daisy who is returning home to Wynmouth after quitting the job she didn’t like and leaving the cheating boyfriend who was trying to turn her into the perfect girlfriend. Daisy doesn’t know what to do with her life yet and she has never been good at sticking to jobs or boyfriends, something that caused a kind of rift with her parents, so she is not expecting a warm welcome from them. After an unexpected encounter with a handsome and charming and yet annoying American backpacker who keeps turning up wherever she goes, Daisy settles down back at home and even though her relationship with her parents is strained, she can count on her two best friends, Penny and Nick, and Algy, the owner of Wynbrooke Manor.

Best Summer Ever is a charming, escapist, and entertaining story of self-discovery. Daisy’s return to Wynmouth leads her to reconnect with her friends, embark on a new romance, trying to solve her differences with her parents, and maybe finally finding her dream job. I loved the setting of Wynmouth, with its beautiful scenery and picturesque locations, and the cast of characters is relatable and likable. I can’t recommend it enough! Best Summer Ever is a heartwarming story that will take you right into the summer!

You know what you're going to get with a Heidi Swain book - great location, gentle easy-going story line, lovely characters and a couple of hic-cups along the way, and this book didn't disappoint.
Unfortunately for me I struggled somewhat with Daisy's issues with her parents and it all seemed rather juvenile - it was kind of addressed within the tale with Daisy complaining that her parents "treat her like she's 18 rather than 28", however the character herself came across as being 18 - so much that I double check that I wasn't reading a YA book.

This was a lovely addition to this series, I really enjoyed the characters and the area that it is set in, I would love to visit and holiday in this area. The characters are vey likable and very well written, I was hooked form the very first page, looking forward to Heidi's next offering

A great summer romance read. Full of sun, sea, drama and romance. Loved following Daisy with all the ups, downs and love in this book.

Best Day Ever was a fun, easy read, but with a few bumps along the way.
The premise? Delightful.
The setting? Pure Swain magic.
But the FMC felt incredibly childish at the start, which made it tough to connect with her journey. And while I love when a book’s title is cleverly woven into the story, this one? It was over-the-top... I get it, it’s the Best Day Ever, but did we need to be reminded that much?

That said, there were some lovely, heartwarming moments, and the small-town charm Swain does so well still shone through.

Would I recommend it? If you’re after a light, escapist read with some fun moments, it’s worth picking up but don’t expect it to be the best book ever 🤭

Now, I need something amazing to follow this up with! Drop your small-town romance recs in the comments please! ⬇️

As always an enjoyable, easy read. I feel like fans of Swain will know exactly what they're getting whenever they're picking up her newest title.

For those that may be new to the author, I would highly recommend going back and reading the books in order. Whilst they are all standalones, there is often overlapping of characters from previous stories which really makes them richer.

I received a free copy of, Best Summer Ever, by Heidi Swain, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Daisy is back home in Wynmouth. She left her job and cheating man behind. Daisy finds sometimes yo can go home again, though there was a lot of drama at home too. This was a lovely read, I really enjoyed it.

I love everything this author writes, and The Best Summer Ever was no exception. Another perfect book for your summer reading. As always impeccably well written with a fanatic story line. Set in a stunning location with the back drop of summer and engaging characters. What’s not to love. Five stars.

I adored this book. It was the perfect Summery read. The setting, the supporting characters, everything all added up to the perfect romance book. I loved following Josh and Daisys story and was actually sad when I finished this book! Heidi creates such lovely settings in her stories - there’s a real community feel and it was so nice to return to Wynmouth and catch up with some of the characters from her other books. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a lighthearted, Summery read that will make you smile.

A nice summer read. For the first half of the book I found Daisy to be a little selfish and quite childish which was a little annoying. However, once Daisy managed to get her dream job I found her character changed a little so I enjoyed the story bit more.

The Wynbrook estate sounded dreamy and I liked the community feel of the book.

Overall, a nice read

I started this book at 9.30pm and could not sleep until I finished it! I love a book based around a community which is what Heidi Swain excels at - gorgeous writing about a small village, old regrets and a summer romance, feel good fiction at it's best!

Not just the best summer ever, could this be the best Heidi Swain book ever? I think it might be! I have loved every single book that Heidi has written as she just writes these communities and characters with so much heart, but I think the seaside setting of warmth is my favourite and I loved this with all my heart ❤️
