In the follow-up to It Happened One Summer, we navigate Hannah's shift from supporting character to leading lady. I found there to be a few role reversal similarities between the two, but to go into them may be a bit spoilery.

Hannah is a much more down to earth and relatable character (compared to Piper) in my opinion. She has wit and an unwavering fierceness to stand up and protect those she cares about. Because of this, I enjoyed HL&S so much more than IHOS as a whole.

We know from IHOS that Fox is painted as a player. Fox's struggle with imposter syndrome provided a sense of depth and vulnerability to his character (though, it did seem a bit repetitive towards the end). This is something we touched on during our buddy chat, and how Tessa shone a light on toxic masculinity and male slut shaming, instead of playing into it.

Tessa's breezy writing style makes it easy to get lost in the pages and before I knew it, it was 12:30 am and I had devoured the whole thing in practically a day. Such a bittersweet feeling.

One thing I will note though is that Piper and Brendan are very absent in HL&S, so if you're looking to read more about their relationship, you may be disappointed.
