The Mash-Up Summer
Sadie Sherman just finished another year of teaching first grade. She loves her students and her job, but she is ready for summer break. She plans to go to Paris and live her best life, hopefully with a Parisian named Jacques. But her summer plans take a back seat to her parents’ recent request.
With her parents retired and ready to downsize, it falls to Sadie to clean out all her childhood memories that are stored in their attic. As she goes through boxes of school projects, journals, stuffed animals, and games, she comes across an old MASH game.
Teacher. Haletown. Red Ford. House. Zero kids. Zero pets. Marry Joey Bates.
Sadie is surprised that all the predictions have come true. All except one: marry Joey Bates. But as luck would have it, she runs into Joey one evening while out with some friends. Could this be fate fulfilling her MASH destiny? Or will a long-standing feud between their parents put an end to it before it even begins?

This was a great idea of a book, just not executed well. I loved the premise, but the FMC Sadie and her friends are so immature. I assume the author made them say childish things to give it "throwback vibe" like the book centers around, but hearing 30-40 year old women say these childish sayings made me cringe. It's often and a lot. I couldn't get past it. Otherwise, it would've been a decent read as I loved the nostalgic feel of the M.A.S.H. theme and hearing random things like games, magazines and singers from my childhood.

I have never met a Tracy Krimmer book I didn't like. Her latest, The Mash-Up Summer, is further proof. I feel like Tracy's books were just meant for me, with her genuine, down-to-earth characters and her eighties and nineties references. With this one, she mentioned my favorite New Kid on the Block, Joey McIntyre, quite a few times.
The story was really enjoyable overall. Joey (not McIntyre) sounded like a dreamboat. Sadie was relatable in quite a few ways: We're close in age, from the Midwest, and her dad was influential in her getting her job (which was the case for me when I was starting out). I loved the level of romance and the dialogue between Sadie and Joey. The nostalgic aspect was a lot of fun, as well. There was an interesting conflict in the story and I can understand why it bothered Sadie so much.
I thought it was strange that people were first finding love in their early forties. I know it happens sometimes, but I felt like the characters should have been in their early thirties instead. Especially since Joey and his friends were so popular in high school and one of them was getting married for what seemed like the first time. Maybe I'm just so far out of the dating scene that I don't know what to expect for anyone else these days. However, I didn't mind the characters being in their forties since I am in that age bracket.
I had a fun time reading this novel and am already looking forward to the next book in this new series!
Movie casting suggestions:
Sadie: Emily Perkins
Vivienne: Jessica Capshaw
Joey: Sam Page

1*
I DNF-ed this novel, so everything that I have to say about this book is based solely on how far I got and only up until that point. I stopped reading this book at pg 127 out of 192 (or chapter 20).
When I came across this book during the ‘Stuff your Kindle Day’ event, I fell head-over-heels in love with the premise of this novel. I played M.A.S.H. soooo many times growing up and I’m pretty sure I kept one of my old M.A.S.H. sheets where I had gotten most of what I wanted too. I have never felt a book be so instantly relatable as this one. I was immediately hooked and 100% invested in this novel without even having to read the first word. I can’t tell you how excited I was to jump into this story.
Did I set my expectations too high, fall in love too quickly, or get invested in the novel too soon? Yes, I think I did. Because, unfortunately, (and in a wholly shocking turn of events) the end result of this novel was awful.
There’s just no sugar-coating the fact that Sadie was the absolute worst. While I was intrigued by the fact that she was in her 40’s when we first started out (since I haven’t read many books with an older heroine like this), you certainly couldn’t tell any difference between 40-year-old Sadie and an 11-year-old middle-schooler. Sadie never acted like an adult. She was a toddler throwing temper tantrums, stomping her feet when she didn’t get her way, and acting like the most immature creature on the face of the planet. Her ideas were over-the-top dramatic and totally absurd. An example of this would be Sadie finding one of her old M.A.S.H. sheets from her teenage years where she had ended up with Joey (a crush at the time). Even though she hasn’t seen Joey for over 20 years, she takes this sheet “as a sign” and becomes completely and utterly convinced beyond the shadow of a doubt that she needs to legitimately marry Joey to make her dreams come true.
Honestly, I think I had the repeated thought of something like, “Ugh. Gag me” more times than I could count during this novel. I’ve rarely liked someone less.
It wasn’t just the FMC that I found frustrating for their immaturity though. The writing style wasn’t any better and it felt incredibly juvenile as well. With the characters, the writing, the plot, and the world-building, I probably rolled my eyes more throughout this book than is healthy. I could hear my mother’s voice in my head telling me that if I kept rolling my eyes so hard, they’d get stuck like that. Reading this book was a regression in every sense of the word.
Speaking of the plot, there were too many plot holes to count. For example, Sadie has lived in her small little town all her life but not ONCE (not with her parents as a child or her friends as a teenager/adult) has she ever attended the Kite Festival (something she claimed she’d always wanted to do). Ummm….what?? Coming from a small town myself, I can tell you that, at least at one point in my life, I’ve been to every fair and festival around. I’m not saying I’ve gone every year, but when events like that happen, you go (at least at some point). It’s not like there are tons of events to choose from here. Sadie’s weak explanation of why she’d never attended was ridiculous….but then again, so was her ability (or lack thereof) to fly a kite. I mean, seriously? What kind of a sad little train wreck was that whole debacle?
Regarding the Kite Festival though, Joey was just as bad. He “comes back” for the Kite Festival every year…or does he? Because just a few lines later he’s stating that he’s only been back to their small little town a couple times since graduation. So, which is it?
Another plot inconsistency was that it was going to take Sadie the entire summer to clean out her parents’ attic. If that was the case, then fine. But can you explain to me why, after Joey helps her ONE day, it’s suddenly freed up half her summer? Joey may have helped, but I doubt he helped THAT much, especially since it was her stuff and she had to go through everything for the final call of keep, donate, or trash and there are just some sentimental things other people can’t make that call for you on.
Inconsistencies weren’t the plot’s only problem. All around, it struggled. At one point, for example, Sadie gets an interview for her dream job. During her interview, this is something Sadie thought: “For almost the next hour the two of them ping pong questions off me. And they are all situational, which I love. It’s easier for me to explain things than choose from multiple-choice questions.” Girl, what??? In what face-to-face interview have you ever gotten multiple choice questions? The things Sadie thought or did so much of the time was just more of the same. It was stupid and nonsensical. It made Sadie appear completely dense, ridiculous, and again, immature. Every thought she had made her more insufferable than the thought she had before.
Sadie’s friends weren’t great but Lord if Sadie’s parents were a walking-taking red flag. When Sadie and Joey started dating, Sadie’s parents were against the two of them getting together and they tried to convince Sadie to break up with him. The reasoning was secretive at first, as they just asked Sadie to ‘trust them’ but Sadie persisted in her relationship and didn’t let her parents influence her decision. When we finally get a bit more clarity about their reasons later on, it was because Joey’s mom stole some money from the PTA and Sadie’s mom caught her (over 20 years ago). Because of this, they were convinced that Joey was a bad apple just like his mother and they ‘didn’t think people could change.’ Now, I may have missed anything else that was later revealed (once I stopped reading), but when that came out in ch 18, I just couldn’t stop the feeling of utter disbelief. That was the most pathetic, judgmental, and unforgiving perspective you could have on someone that didn’t even commit the supposed crime. Even just thinking about it now, my mind is blown that that would be their reasoning. It was beyond idiotic.
God Bless the folks who’ve given this book a 5* rating. I’m glad they enjoyed the novel so thoroughly, and while I went into this book with all of the hope and excitement in the world, I’m walking away from it now because I can’t stand the idea of wasting another second of my time. I am so disappointed.

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.

I’m a sucker for all things that take me back to childhood school fun, so when I saw this book centered around the old-school game of (Mansion, Apartment, Shack, House), MASH (or whatever you called it) I couldn’t wait to dive in, and it absolutely did not disappoint!
Sadie, a teacher on summer break, is staying in town to clean her childhood stuff out of her parents’ attic. She’s also trying for a promotion to vice principal. But things take a surprising turn when she stumbles upon an old MASH game from her childhood. Everything on it has come true… except one thing: Joey Bates.
Cue fate, because who does she run into during a night out with friends? None other than Joey himself, and he somehow ends up volunteering to help her clean the attic. From there, the sparks fly, the romance builds, and so does the mystery. Her parents clearly don’t approve of Joey, but they won’t say why, and that tension adds just the right amount of intrigue.
This was such a fun and nostalgic read! Sadie is relatable, her friends are a blast, and the chemistry with Joey is sweet and swoony. If you love second chances, retro vibes, and stories with heart, The M.A.S.H. Up Summer should definitely be on your TBR!

I originally picked this book up because I wanted a quick read, but it was not, even though it is pretty short.
I could not connect with the characters at all and I was not invested in the relationship whatsoever. I did not feel any chemistry between the characters.
I try my best not to DNF books, so I stuck this one out, but was only able to do so because I ultimately ended up skimming the last 1/3 of the book.
There were several things that irritated me with this story/the characters. First and foremost, the MC is supposed to be in her 40s, but she acts like a teenager, sometimes even a toddler when she stomped her feet multiple times.
****Spoilers****
There were also some inconsistencies that really bugged me. One of them was the fact that she initially says the attic will take all summer, but then magically with Joey’s help for one day it won’t take too long, possibly only a week. It just doesn’t make sense.
The other big one is that Joey says he goes to the kite festival each year, but then only a few pages later says he’s only been back to his hometown 2-3 times within the past 15 years. It makes no sense.
Ultimately, this just was not for me.

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 LOVED this book and think I have found a new author to add to my list of favourite ones!
The book has believable characters and is very easy to read but still has twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat and promising myself I would read "just one more chapter".
I was pleased to note that there is another book in this series being released in October.
I cannot wait to read Viv's story.

I love the premise, and the bones of the story, the MASH connections are fun and sweet. But I was pulled out of the story and distracted on every single page by the unfortunately poor writing and editing-grammatical errors, tense issues, completely random and unimportant thoughts breaking up unoriginal and bland dialogue, and so many truly unrealistic scenarios and undeveloped characters. So much great potential!
June 24, 2020
I gotta say, this book was everything and nothing like I expected. I could not put it down once I started it and did not want it to end when I got there.
An emotionally charged story-line that grabs you right from the start, keeping you engrossed throughout.

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!
July 8, 2023
The MC is insufferable. She acts like a twenty year old but she’s a forty-something teacher and almost breaks up with her boyfriend because he cheated in high school Spanish?? The writing is very elementary and the metaphors are so weird. I almost DNF’d but it was so short I pushed through for my book count.
July 12, 2023
This book fell flat for me. I didn’t care about the main characters, I was always skeptical of Joey, and I had to force myself to skim to finish. Also, this was recommended to me on a list of modern clean romances… while it may technically be “closed door” there was a lot of language and references that made me uncomfortable. Definitely not what I expected nor what I wanted.
June 2, 2020
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.

A nice, easy read. I enjoyed reading about a main character in her 40s who was still having issues with her parents. That was very realistic. Looking forward to seeing what Ms. Krimmer does with the rest of the Rewind series.
August 8, 2020
What a sweet book! I really enjoy stories of high school crushes finding each other years later. Plus, who doesn't remember playing MASH?! I'm still waiting for my mansion lol A fun and quick weekend read.
August 22, 2023
Eh. Just ok. Cute story line that brought me back to elementary and middle school. However, there were times where I would be reading and a new character would come out of no where with no explanation of who it was. They story could be a little bit confusing at times too.
July 6, 2020
I enjoyed every turn of the page of this storyline. The characters are well developed and engaging.

This woman is supposed to be 40 but has the mindset and actions of a 15 year old. 🙄 Girl needs therapy, not a boyfriend, if she is this focused with the past.
July 10, 2023
It was okay. Not what I was expecting. DNF.
August 4, 2023
Terribly written. This 40 year old has the mindset of a 15yr old. Why does she care do much that he cheated in a class in HS?! Very elementary.
June 23, 2024
This was very light on the romance and focused more on the main character’s self growth. I loved all the 90’s nostalgia.
June 20, 2025
Honestly, I didn’t finish it. I skipped to about 75% left on my kindle and skimmed over dialogue to figure out what was “the problem” of the story.
June 10, 2020
I enjoyed reading The Mash-Up Summer. The book is interesting and fun. I like the characters. This is a great romance story.
June 6, 2022
As a preteen who played M.A.S.H with her best friends, Mash Up Summer hit all the right notes for me. Well written with strong central characters and a reminder that life doesn’t end after forty. You can still find your happily ever after, and it’s never too late to change your mind and follow your dreams.
July 11, 2020
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!
