My thoughts:
I'm combining my review for these two books because they directly relate to each other. Sunkissed Days is a novella that is a prequel to Remind Me. It tells the story of Mallory and Jake when they were younger and how they got together. It was a cute story with a heartbreaking cliff hanger ending. It did get me excited to read the next book to see if they could repair their relationship. The best part about this novella was the relationship between Mallory and her grandfather as well as his relationship with Jake. IT was so endearing and a joy to read.
Remind Me takes place years later. Both Mallory and Jake are more mature and come to the relationship with a better and fresher perspective. I loved them together and was rooting for them. I was really rooting for Mallory to realize that she could give up her boring life in New York and move back to the place that is truly her home. I loved the ending! It was perfect!
The other characters in the book rounded out the story nicely. I thought the Mallory's cousins were hilarious. It looks like the next book features Mallory's brother, Sam. I already have it on my TBR. I highly recommend this series.
