Perfect for fans of Morgan Matson and Netflix/Hallmark Channel rom-coms, this is the story of a girl who decides to give in to the universe and just say yes to everything, bringing her friendship, new experiences, and, if she lets her guard down, true love. "I would say yes to this adorable love story again and again. It is an instant dose of happy." --KASIE WEST, author of P.S. I Like You Rachel Walls has spent most of high school saying no. No to dances, no to parties, and most especially, no to boys. Now she's graduating at the top of her class, and for the first time in her life, there's nothing stopping Rachel from having a little fun--except herself. So when she stumbles on a beat-up old self-help book, a crazy idea pops into her head: What if she just said yes to . . . everything? And so begins Rachel's summer of yes--yes to new experiences and big mistakes. Yes to scooping ice cream alongside Miles, the guy she's known forever; yes to spontaneous road trips with her longtime crush, Clayton; and yes to seeing the world in a whole new way.

I read this at the beginning of June and just realized I never reviewed it. The problem: I couldn't remember anything about the book.
After I skimmed through the book, the plot quickly came back to me. A girl decides she's tired of missing out and decides she'll say yes to every opportunity that summer. That didn't play a big of a part as I thought it would – I imagined way more shenanigans. I didn't even mind the love triangle, which is very rarely the case.
It sounds terrible that I couldn't remember a book I read barely two months ago, but I think that's ok. It was fun to read, and sometimes that's all you need out of a book. Say Yes Summer is a perfect summer read - you enjoy it while you're reading, and you can reread it next year.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I did really connect with Rachel in the beginning as I am also a “no” person but after that.. meh. I wish this was focused more on Rachel and her self growth and friendship rather than boys and a love triangle. the things Rachel says yes to are pretty underwhelming (goes to two parties, drives a couple hours to Canada, and goes on a carnival ride) and I could have absolutely done without the love triangle and cheating aspect. as soon as both boys were introduced in the beginning, I pretty much knew exactly how the story was going to play out. not the worst thing I've ever read but just predictable and underwhelming.
