That One Summer was a great companion novel to the Boys of Summer series. This installment followed Amy’s friend Tammy and Chris Henderson. It was different from the other novels, as we had characters that weren’t as outgoing and bold as the other characters. Their story and romance was a lot more subtle, evolving over a road trip down the coast. It moved at a pace that was just right for the characters, which was a bit slow with some steamy moments. But it wasn’t boring at all–it fit their characters. Tammy falls in as my second favorite Onslow girl. She was the character that I related most to. She was shy and don’t quite fit in with the pack. I could totally understand her feelings of loneliness. Chris was just as serious as ever, although we got to see him lighten up a tiny bit. It was actually kind I weird at first, since it’s always been the serious side of him portrayed in the novels. But it was refreshing to see. In this installment, we also get to see our other favorite couples, and one of them even has an OMG moment that totally killed me! That One Summer was a cute and lighthearted read that is perfect for a nice, warm day. I can’t wait to see anything else that CJ Duggan brings.
