I liked this book, but there was somethings I couldn't get over.

Luli was so annoying. Like we get it Meredith didn't answer your funny little snapchats, but you do remember her sister just died in a horrific accident not too long ago, right?
Wit should have told Meredith that he knew Claire way sooner than he even mentioned trying I don't care if he thought she knew.
Wit and Meredith being that attached after knowing each other max 48 hours. Like please bffr.

Crying score: none

It was a cute, sweet story that’s pretty quick to read. I thought the Assassin game was interesting and would be fun to play. The title is confusing for me though because I’m not quite sure what rules were broken though.

This book moved at a weird pace for me- sometimes it felt like it dragged on, while other plot points were not as developing as I would have liked. I liked the large family dynamic and the setting was the perfect summer vibe! I don’t like how much she compared Wit (the love interest) to her ex- there were other interactions with friends and family members that felt immature for the characters age. It was a cute book, but I felt myself anticipating when it would be over.

THIS BOOK IS SO GOOD!!! Amazing writing, an adorable romance, all the characters have great chemistry, and every different relationship is portrayed perfectly. I lived how close but still realistic the whole family was portrayed and the assassin game added the perfect bit of tension to the fluffy romance. Seeing how Meredith is still grieving and recovering from her sisters death was woven into the story perfectly! I found myself really relating to Meredith's struggle with her future college, and her grandfathers advice was so good. Definitely one of the best books I’ve read lately!

Classic YA romance, but I loved every second of it and couldn’t put it down. As someone from a big family, I loved that Meredith had a big family. Watching the family (especially Meredith) healing and walking through grief juxtaposed with the assassin game and budding romance gave this book so much depth. The Taylor Swift nods were a bonus. Great summer read

Very cute and heartwarming. The Assassin plot line was a bit difficult and tedious for me to follow since games like that don’t interest me much. There were also a ton of side characters and I found it hard to keep track of them all.

"You make me feel absolutely golden"
"I don't want Eli." "I want you"
"Enough of this pretending nonsense. If you want him, go get him. Don't miss your shot" had to share my favorite quotes :)

Such a nice, sweet, heartwarming love story that screamed summer!
