Well, who could walk away from such an adorable and super cute cover? And from such a very promising story? .. I couldn’t and jumped at a chance to read this perfect summer read!
When you lose what makes you special.. who are you then?
Elyse is from the Caribbean and together with her twin sisters she used to be an amazing singer. When an accident takes her voice, Elyse is lost – so lost, that she decides to spend the summer with her aunt in a Oregon seaside town. Here, she will have to face that she won’t ever be again who she was and now has to find a new perspective of life.
The Elyse we get to know after the accident – is quite .. and not just because she lost her voice, her whole demeanour is quite and soft, which is in complete contrast to a sassy, outspoken, singer full of temperament!
A notorious playboy that will become a silent hero!
As much as this is Elyse’s story – Christian is my silent hero in this story! Christian is the classic playboy – flirting with every skirt, never taking any flirt serious enough, but somehow, right from the beginning he’s different with Elyse. He seems to feel what she needs and is just always there for her, supports her healing without any fuzz and big words. He’s a wonderful boy! Of course, he also challenges her – but he never pushed her to far! And.. his love for is kid brother was simply adorable!

Bottom Line
The Summer of Chasing Mermaids by Sarah Ockler was a soft beautiful story about loss and healing and finding out who you are even though you have lost everything that you thought would make you who you are! It has a wonderful soft pace and has remarkable and unique characters!
This is the perfect summer read that comes with lots of feels and some great characters! Any summer read recommendations for me? When the sun comes out, I just love to read books that play on the beach…
