Book:  Summer Plans and Other Disasters

Author: Karin Beery

Genre: Women’s Romantic Fiction

Release date: April 2021

Elementary school music teacher Callie Stevens thinks she’s finally figured out God ’s plan for her life—she even made a list to keep her on track. Moving in with her brother and reconnecting with her ex-boyfriend are at the top of the list. What ’s not on the list is running into her childhood crush, Ryan. God wanted her to connect with Kyle, right? Trying to figure out God ’s plan is hard enough. But a dating-averse older brother, the young blonde who adores him, a pregnant best friend, and Callie ’s continual mishaps make her wonder whether her best-laid plans were truly God-inspired.

About the Author

Karin Beery grew up in a small, rural Michigan town where she wrote her first novel in high school. She’s still writing today, telling contemporary stories with a healthy dose of romance. When she’s not writing fiction, she’s editing or teaching it. And when she’s not doing that, she enjoys time at home with her husband and fur babies, once again living in a small, rural Michigan town.

More from Karin

I discovered audiobooks two years ago, and they have changed my life! Now I look forward to long car rides and endless hours cleaning and cooking. Well, I don’t really look forward to the cleaning and cooking, but at least the chores are tolerable because I just turn on a new book and listen to a story while I work! I know I’m not the only one who multitasks with audiobooks. I had a few friends ask me when my books would be available in audio form so they could listen—with long commutes and families at home, they prefer listening to their books in the quiet of the car.

That’s why I’m so excited to bring Summer Plans and Other Disasters to audiobook, and I’m just as excited about my narrator, Jasmine Zhwalen. Summer Plans was my first published book, and now it will be Jasmine’s first too. As soon as I heard her audition, I knew I wanted her to give Callie, Jack, Stacey, and Ryan their voices. Considering it’s the first go-round for both of us, I think it turned out pretty well!

Thanks for listening!

My Review

Summer Plans - and Other Disasters is a fun, entertaining and great read. It is full of sweetness and laugh out loud humor. I never knew what was going to happen with Callie next. I just love the beautiful setting. I was amused from start to finish. It was not hard to have it read in one sitting. 

Summer Plans - and Other Disasters is narrated by the talented Jasmine Rose. Her performance was perfect to bring this story to life. She made even more fun and entertaining.

Summer Plans - and Other Disasters is one book that should not be missed. I thought it was a fabulous debut for author Karin Beery. I can not wait to see where her imagination goes to next. I will be giving this one four and a half stars. I recommend it for readers who enjoy reading clean and delightful romance. I am so happy that I had the chance to read it. 

I received Summer Plans - and Other Disasters from the publisher. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
