Summer Nights and Meteorites by Hannah Reynolds
Product details
Web ID: 18496919Cute and Entertaining
Super cute story about a teen who spends the summer in Nantucket and finds ways to entertain herself because her father is so immersed in his work. The main characters, Jordan and Ethan, are likeable and fun with lots of witty banter and chemistry. I loved the work she did in astronomy and the eventual realization of stolen work that was commonplace at the time when women were not taken seriously. This has a lot about growing up and learning to speak up for yourself, which is a lesson we all need from time to time.

Cute read!
4 stars! I loved Summer Nights and Meteorites by Hannah Reynolds. She is a new-to-me author so I haven’t read the other 2 books in this series, but it really didn’t matter as this can be read as a stand-alone. Jordan Edelman has graduated from high school and is currently in her summer before freshman year at UMass. Her father is an academic researcher, and he has an opportunity in Nantucket, so he went there before she was able to finish high school. We meet Jordan on her way to Nantucket to spend some time with her father before college. She is missing her connection with him, and he is all she has (her mother passed away when Jordan was very young, and she is an only child). She is anxious about the Summer with her father because of his research assistant, Ethan. Her father talks about Ethan as the son he never had, and she has become jealous of their relationship. In any event, Jordan sees a cute boy on the ferry to Nantucket. She ends up kissing him without knowing his name. It’s a very good meet-cute! The story is an entertaining one with Jordan and Ethan opening to one another and learning to communicate and work through their feelings and misunderstandings. Both MC mature tremendously throughout this story. One aspect of the story that I particularly enjoyed was learning more about astronomy and the women in STEM from a historical perspective. Kudos to Ms. Hannah Reynolds and I look forward to reading the first two books in this series. A big thank you to NetGalley and PenguinTeen for allowing me to read an ARC copy of Summer Nights and Meteorites.

Cute YA Summer Read!
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you so much to Penguin Teen for sending me an ebook ARC of this one and a finished hardcover copy! I really enjoyed this book! Reynolds’s writing style was so beautiful and I was in awe at some of her descriptions and phrases. The story description of it being the same vibes as The Summer of Broken Rules was spot on, I loved getting into another Nantucket summer romance. Jordan and Ethan’s relationship was so cute and I loved how there was both a focus on their relationship but also Jordan’s relationship with her dad. I also really enjoyed the historical and scientific aspects of the story, as it focused on a field that I really know nothing about. I always love when I get to read a story that is leaves me feeling entertained but also like I got to learn something, and that part of Summer Nights and Meteorites was really interesting. Overall this was a good and fun summer read! It was definitely a little insta-lovey at the beginning which is why it loses a star for me, but I really enjoyed it and definitely recommend to bring in the summer!
