I had choosen this novel as my main read for a trip and it was, for the most part, the ideal vacation book. I liked the rythm and the characters. I had never read new romance before, and it was a pretty good introduction. However, the main character is absolutely annoying. It was okay at first but I wanted to rip my hair off when she blamed Elliot for his litteral r4p3 because she was jealous of his r4p1st. I was also very annoyed by the fact that no one in this goddamn book seems to acknowledge what happened to Elliot as r4p3. This part was very upsetting to read, unfortunately.

This book captured my heart- I loved the dual timelines and all of the characters. This romance book was a mix of friends to lovers and second chances. I adored Macy’s dad, Duncan, and Elliot’s whole family. This book elicited all of the emotions, I was deeply invested and laughed and cried along with the characters. I enjoyed this one!!

I was REALLY enjoying this - it was like a better Every Summer After. The climb was beautiful, and tense, and threw me back into teenage hood. And then the big reveals felt both expected and not - but then everything got tied up too quickly.

I know it was inevitable for them to be together, but only a small handful of pages were dedicated to them and their relationship after Elliot learned he was a direct link to the death of her father. It was unsettling to say the least.

I think if more time had been spent on the resolution, I would have found it more believable and satisfying.
