Courtney Walsh's The Summer of Yes explores the idea of what if you say yes to everything you normally say no to. Excluding illegal or immoral things but saying yes to the things you don't make time for. It encourages readers to step beyond their comfort zones and embrace opportunities that they typically overlook or dismiss due to fear, busyness, or uncertainty. The concept invites a spirit of adventure, curiosity, and openness into everyday life, transforming ordinary days into memorable experiences.
As someone who often feels trapped in routine, I found Walsh's approach refreshingly motivating. The Summer of Yes got me out of the winter blues and made me excited about the possibilities of summer. Walsh's story was a gentle yet powerful reminder that saying yes can lead to growth, joy, and an enriched life—something many of us need, especially after long winters or periods of difficulty.
Introvert, workaholic, New York editor Kelsey Worthington wasn't expecting to get hit by a curb jumping car and wind up in the same hospital room as famous businesswoman Georgina Tate.
Kelsey convinces Georgina to take a road trip. Both women confront their individual issues and securities on this trip. Both Kelsey and Georgina learn how the power of words and taking action on those words can change you.
I listened to the audiobook version of this book and the narrator does a great job of bringing the characters to life.
One thing I love about Courtney's books is her author's voice is light, fun and her humor is oh-so-relatable and will have you laughing out loud, but her stories also contain the richness of life. Her books always bring me joy. If you need a little more joy in your life add The Summer of Yes to your TBR pile.
Reading is an adventure,
Emilee
