Blue Summer Part One by Everly Taylor – Review by Naomi McDonald

Blue Summer Part One by Everly Taylor
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

How I experienced this book:
Why does this feel familiar? Reading… reading… Seriously, why does this book seem so familiar? Reading… reading… Mother of all that is good and pure – it’s a Smurf reimagining.

Ok, seriously though, it took me a little bit to get past the insta-lust/love vibe in order for it to even click that it was this kind of retelling. I can do insta-lust/love sometimes, but I wasn’t feeling it for this book. Now, that being said, I gave this book four stars because I have read thousands of books from squeaky clean to dark taboo and I have never once run across a Smurf reimagining. The creativity of finding something that hasn’t been retold hundreds of times was refreshing. This book ends on a cliffhanger so you’ll need to pick up the next book to continue the story.
