My Thoughts:
I was sent a copy of this novel by the author in exchange for an honest review.
This novel is the perfect summer contemporary! It had me
hooked from page one and I could not put it down! I fell in love with every single
character, they became my friends and the love interest had me head over heels.
The author took me back to my high school summer days, when I would go out with
all my friend and falling in love for the first time oh, those were the days. I
loved the authors writing, especially when it comes to character development.
Courtney has always been one to follow the rules, she’s top
of her class and captain of her cheer-leading squad, but this summer she is
going to be spending it with her best friend Vanessa in her hometown Gem City
and Vanessa loves to push Courtney out of her comfort zone. I absolutely loved Courtney,
she was such a relatable character and I just saw so much of myself in her. I
was always the shy friend who had to be pushed to do fun things, still to this
day I overthink everything. Courtney’s development throughout the book is phenomenal!
She stops holding back, overthinking and decided to just have fun this summer.
Ethan is our love interest and gosh, do I love this man! He was sooo swoon
worthy, but of course like any real guy, he has his flaws and I loved that
about him; it made him feel real! I fell in love with all the characters
including Vanessa and her boyfriend, Luke! I cannot wait to read more about
those two.
The ending broke me! I was sobbing so much I had to stop and take a breather, I was so happy I had the next book! The authors writing flows so well and she hooks you from the first chapter! This novel made me laugh, cry and reminisce about my old summer days; I can’t wait to devour more of her novels. I also absolutely loved how in the header of each chapter there is a song title. I decided halfway through the book to look up the playlist the author has for her novel and gosh, I was so happy I decided to listen it to it while I read! It was such a whole new experience, and took the book to a whole new level for me. This novel also helped me get over a horrible reading slump, after trying several other books I might add. I recommend this to anyone looking for a summer contemporary!
