It's another summer on Cape Cod and Willa's summer is full of adventures. Her Aunt Ruthie is coming to the inn and Willa gets to plan the entire wedding. Ruthie can be a little headstrong though, and her all-green wedding turns into quite an affair for Willa the wedding planner.
Willa also feels like she might be drifting apart from her best friend, Tina, and JFK is heading off to spend the summer at a sports internship. There's also a mysterious dog who shows up on the beach and Willa is trying to convince her mom she's ready for a pet. One thing's for sure, Willa's summer is going to be full of surprises!
Oh Willa, you always make me smile. No matter what her adventures or schemes, Willa is always up to something and it's a trip you want to take with her.
With FORGET ME NOT as the fourth book in this series, Willa is growing up and author Coleen Murtagh Paratore takes us through Willa's maturity with graceful ease. Willa is still relatable to tween readers, but I think the series could appeal to teen readers as Willa herself grows older. There's a lot packed into this short book, but I think that's one of Ms. Paratore's strengths - her characters are well-developed and the story is so well told that she can make a short story so filling to the reader.
I'm eager to see where Willa's story takes her next and where the author is leading us. The ending will leave you wanting more and I can't wait to get my hands on the next Willa book. I'll always be happy for a trip to Cape Cod with my favorite wedding planner and book lover!
