This was my second Colleen Hoover book, and I was not disappointed. It was so easy to read, and once the climax began, it was hard to put down. I expected to cry, but I didn’t; that’s fine, though. The ending was satisfying, and I found myself quickly falling in love with the characters. My favorites were Sara and Pepper Jack Cheese (I’m such a sucker for animals). The plot twist was unexpected for me but that’s Colleen for you 😂.

Spoiler

I also really liked that she showed the complexity of Samson’s life and the motives for his crimes

Side note: the cover is absolutely gorgeous; props to Murphy Rae.

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.
