Love Signals

“Love Signals” by Melanie Summers is such a fun read, especially if you're into women in STEM rom-coms. As a Space Between Us fan, it was fun to see some of the characters come into this novel! As a second-generation Italian, I loved how Melanie nailed the Italian-American family dynamics in Love Signals – the Sunday dinners and the mom-daughter chats were spot on and super relatable. Fun little personal extra for me is that the FMC middle name is Bianca! Summers crafts a charming tale in the realm of women in STEM, with vibes reminiscent of Ali Hazelwood's work. The story's true gem is its cinnamon roll male lead, who is endearingly sweet and supportive. However, the female main character's irrational behavior during the third-act breakup tested my patience. I think the whole “I hate liars” thing went too far... While this drama detracted from my enjoyment toward the end, the overall story was engaging enough that I'll continue to dive into more of Melanie Summers' novels!

Thank you NetGalley and Melanie Summers for the digital ARC in exchange for an honest review!
