Awww! I liked this one! 

The ending with the letters had me wanting to break down and cry, it was so beautiful and full circle and sweet and UGH I LIKED IT OK

The romance was wonderful, I loved Gus, that moody, leaning, secretive, little bastard. 

At times, January’s inner monologue got a smidge repetitive as she constantly circling back to her daddy issues, but understandably so considering the circumstances, I guess.  

Also having characters named both January and AUGUSTus - Emily had some fun. Good for her, we love months! 

Overall, a really fun vacation read! Thanks for the rec, Lizzie!

Dare I say my favorite contemporary romance read of 2024? Bonus points for it taking place in a beach town in West Michigan AND including a scene watching the sunset over Lake Michigan (aka my personal favorite pass-time). This felt like a breath of fresh air. Even with some of the cancer stuff hitting a little too close to home, this truly felt like an escape for me. I laughed. I cried (both happy and sad tears). I absolutely loved this. My personal perfect summer read.

The sexual tension between Janie and Gus was so good. The story progressed naturally, nothing felt forced. Loved each character so dearly, I was so invested! Definitely one of the best romances ive read, i couldnt bring myself to put it down lol. Now i want to read Gus and January's books, shame they're only fictional😭
