This is by far one of my favourite Colleen Hoover books. TikTok needs to hype this one up instead of Ugly Love. There’s an actually decent love interest in this one. 

Absolutely LOVE Samson and Beyah. They were so freaking adorable. Makes me want my own summer thing 😞. 

I’m so glad that the plot twist of this book didn’t reveal that Samson was some heartless criminal.

Spoiler

Yeah, he went to jail, but only because he was trying to survive for SEVEN YEARS. How are you sending someone to jail for trying to survive????????

The way Beyah waited for him was so cute and their reunion at the end was so precious. It actually had me tearing up.

Because Beyah and Samson were so cute, it made me over look the fact that Samson is blond. That’s three blond book boys I like now.

THAT MOMENT BETWEEN BEYAH AND HER DAD. OH MY GOD, I WAS HOLDING BACK TEARS 🥲🥲🥲. My daddy issues really pulled through. 

This book is literally the epitome of summer vibes. Everyone should read it during the summer.

oh my gosh. i just finished this book and it was absolutely amazing, just like all of colleen hoovers books have been so far. not quite as crazy as others like her book It Ends With Us but still one of my new favorite books. i 100% recommend it although like her other books there is some smut and a lot of kissing but again not nearly as bad as books like It Ends With Us or Ugly Love. great book :)
