I’m a huge fan of Tracy Krimmer and I couldn’t wait to read her newest novel The Mash-Up Summer. I was hooked from the first page to the last. I loved the storyline, I loved the characters, I loved the writing! The Mash-Up Summer is a feel good book, that truly takes your mind off real life for a while. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series!
I enjoyed reading The Mash-Up Summer. The book is interesting and fun. I like the characters. This is a great romance story.
I loved this cute romance story. It brings back so many memories of being a teen in the 90s.
Pairing the past with the present made an brilliant story line.

This was a light, clean, fun read. I enjoyed the plot a lot. It had a retro feel to it and brought back some good memories. The characters were easy to like, especially the side characters. I enjoyed this a lot.

This book really had me hooked, right from the beginning. I loved that I could relate so much with the main character Sadie. I used to do the MASH game all the time in grade school and thought that would help decide my future. Unfortunately not so much. But the story still had me hooked into finding out what happened to Sadie during the summer.

I really enjoyed this summer contemporary romance from Tracy Krimmer! I don’t know about you, but when I was a kid, I played MASH (Mansion, Apartment, Shack, House) with my friends. It’s a little fortune-telling game that was all the rage with all the girls. Lol. It was fun to see it incorporated into a contemporary story! When Sadie finds the MASH paper while cleaning out her attic, she wonders how the boy from her fortune is doing. It turns out that boy, Joey, now grown-up, is back in town! They have a fun meet-cute and go on to date. But things are not what they seem with both Joey and Sadie’s family. Krimmer did a great job of bringing the story together and ending on a satisfying ahhhh.
I loved MASH in grade school. Glad those things don’t really happen. Lol! This book kept me turning the pages. It was a great read and grabbed me from the get go!

I am a sucker for all things retro and I was looking forward to reading this book. It did not disappoint! If you remember the game MASH (Mansion, Apartment, Shack, House) from childhood, you will have a good starting point for reading about the adventures of Sadie. Sadie is a teacher starting summer break. She usually travels somewhere amazing during her summer break, but this summer she is staying close to home and cleaning out all her stuff from her parents’ attic so they can sell their house. Sadie is also hoping to interview for a vice principal position at her school – one that is vacant now that her dad retired and the former VP was promoted to Principal. If that doesn’t sound crazy enough, she finds an old MASH game in the boxes where all but one thing has come true – getting Joey Bates. When she and her friends are out for drinks at the start of summer, she runs into him and somehow he ends up offering to help her clean out the attic. She accepts, and the romance starts. Her parents do not approve of Joey, but won’t tell Sadie why, which is infuriating to her. This book was fun to read, and I really enjoyed the characters.

This is an interesting story and love the concept of the old MASH game being incorporated. I loved playing MASH when I was little so it was fun to read about this game in the book and to find there is an app of this game was cool. The characters are interesting and a lot of growth happens with these characters which is great. The story is a mild plus for some language and innuendo.
