This summer fling friends to lovers romance was seriously so much fun! I loved the summer vibes and the banter between Cassie and Tate. The friendships between the side characters were also so much fun. Cassie and Tate had a spark from the beginning and when Tate decides a friendship would be better, he impulsively offers to be Cassie's wingman for the summer. As things start heating up, Tate realizes that is not what they want at all and agrees to a summer fling with Cassie. Cassie is only here for the summer and is heading back to school afterward, so she wasn't looking for anything serious but her connection with Tate completely shocked her.
This book was so fun and easy to read! I was fully engaged the whole time and looking forward to where the characters would end up next. Their connection and ease together had me swooning! The drama was also giving! There were moments that truly had my jaw on the floor and I loved every minute of it.
Such a fun read and cannot wait for more in this small town.

The audiobook is lovely and I found that I did enjoy the performances of the narrators both at regular speed and at 1.25 which I accidentally had it on for a while.
Thank you MacMillan Audio and NetGalley for The ALC.

My heart broke for Cassie and her strained relationship with both her parents. I know what it’s like being a child of a divorce, especially when it’s bitter, but her experience was so difficult and emotional.
There was a huge plot twist that I in no way saw coming. All I’ll say is wow.
The narrators were amazing. At first I wasn’t sure, but once I got more into it, they really fit the characters well and they did a great job with voice changes for other characters and conveying the emotions. They really brought the characters to life and made me feel like I was hearing the story right from the characters themselves.
Thank you to St. Martin’s Press, Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for this gifted copy in exchange for my honest review.
