I love, love, love Heidi Swain’s books. They are feel good stories set in idyllic locations; I was absolutely dreaming of summer in the north Norfolk coast. The characters are so well written with just a touch of jeopardy that has you rooting for them the whole time. I loved the addition of the cut flower garden as there isn’t anything else that represents a British summer better.

Another fantastic book by Heidi Swain.

The protagonist in this story is likeably unlikable - she starts off very selfish and not considering the feelings of her friends and family, putting herself first. The story is set in Wynbridge - first seen in The Secret Seaside Escape - and, as ever with Heidi's books, we get cameos from previous, much loved characters.

I loved all of the characters in this book, and loved how Heidi tied up all the loose ends. Fantastic book - can't wait for the next one.

As the title suggests this is a real feel good summer read. Set on the Norfolk coast this light hearted romance features a couple of villains as well as family secrets, dreams come true, and some delightful characters, and not forgetting a charming little black cat.
Perfect reading either for grey days or summer holidays

I am very much a fan of this author and have read and own all her books so, when the opportunity arose to read an advanced copy of her latest book - Best Summer Ever , how could I resist. This is probably one of my favourite Heidi Swain books to date because as well as the main story, which revolves around Daisy, there are lots of little sub stories too- a possible romance between her best friends Nick and Penny, the search for the stray kitten (Luna) , Penny's summer adventure etc. I won't say much more because I do not want to give away too much.
This is the second time that a book has been set in Wynmouth village and I truly hope it will not be the last I did guess one of the surprises but, Heidi had expertly left a trail of clues. However, there were still lots of other twists which made this an absolute page turner and I literally read it in two days.
I loved the setting of Wynmouth manor and the beautiful descriptions of the flower gardens. The characters felt very rounded with both flaws and humour and the fact that Daisy is still struggling with some of her life choices at 28 is honest and real.
Please Heidi write a sequel to this one as I really want to know how the agreed new plans impact the manor, the village and these wonderful new characters you have introduced your readers to.

Great book. Ended it wanting more! I love this author’s writing style and this book doesn’t disappoint. I have no negative comments at all! Highly recommended

Thank you to NetGalley and Simon and Schuster UK for this ARC.

Daisy, 28, is returning to her hometown of Wynmouth, Norfolk after having left her materialistic boyfriend Laurence. Her parents live and work on the Wynbrook Manor Estate for owner Algy who has always been somewhat of a grandfather to Daisy.

Daisy takes a job in the pub working for Sam from the previous book The Secret Seaside Escape while she mulls over what she really wants to do. Her parents aren't too happy about her turning up without Laurence, and they don't like it at first when she falls in insta-love with Josh, an American tourist. But is Josh all he seems?

I liked the community that always help each other out, with Sam, Tess, Nick and Penny always on hand. Daisy starts out as a petulant child and is treated as thus by her exasperated parents, but they have no right to interfere in her relationship with Laurence. Algy and Josh are lovely but could be less secretive.

This is a good description of a warm summer with a lot of swimming and outdoor eating, picking fruit and tending flowers. All this doesn't distract from the fact though that this is a fairly formulaic and predictable story - cosy but forgettable. It's feel-good, clean and light-hearted - regular readers of Heidi Swain will appreciate knowing exactly what they are going to get.

3.5 stars

I read Heidi Swain’s latest novel over 2 days as it’ is very difficult to put down this charming book.

When Daisy returns home for the Summer after leaving her cheating boyfriend, little does she know what is in store for her.. Throw in gardens, friends, the beach and a handsome stranger and she will have the best summer ever.

Romance, escapism, community and friendship make Heidi Swain’s books such a pleasure to read and Best Summer ever is no exception.

Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Although this isn’t the first Wynmouth book I had in honesty forgotten what happened in the previous books but that didn’t affect my enjoyment in the least however it’s definitely fair to say this could be read as a standalone just as easily as part of the series! The main character in this is Daisy who just hasn’t settled down in life and after a breakup she has little option but to return to her parents home where the dynamics are quite strained and she’s also upset to see how frail her parents employer Algy, a man who has also felt like an honorary grandfather to her, has become. The sparks between her and newcomer Josh help make this a very uplifting read and I love her at her core Daisy really does try her best and what I great friend she is. Algy is a great older character with such a good heart and overall this is a really wonderful character led summer read.

I love Heidi Swain and I am so excited for her new upcoming novel Best Summer Ever. Definitely great to have sone summer vibes right about now. I love her characters in this novel and her vivid descriptions you feel like you’re actually right there with the characters. A bit of mystery is thrown in as well. Highly recommended

Another great read from Heidi Swain and It was lovely to go back to Wynmouth.
Daisy is a likeable character and when she meets Josh sparks begin to fly. Without giving away any spoilers there were lots of great plot lines and I loved seeing Daisy find her perfect vocation and grow as a character.
A great summer read full of love ,friendship and family
Thanks to NetGalley, Heidi Swain and Simon and Schuster for an advance copy in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Good to be back in Wynmouth . Can read alone. Loved the story, the setting ,The main character Daisy annoyed me in the beginning but she grew and grew on me as the story evolved Heidi Swain never disappoints . You realise how tough it is being a parent and about getting old and falling in love. A really good read. Loved it .The pick your own flowers was a fab idea .
