I remember reading this on wattpad and being so sad she wasn’t updating. But was it worth it all that wait.
I love it. It’s sooooo summer and wattpad 🤍

It’s a fun summer book, and yes I hoped for more because I love the silly drama but it was good.

☀️best vacation ever arc review☀️
5/5 stars
- dual pov
- fun and quick summer read
- character and relationship driven
- minor love triangle
- SO. MUCH. DRAMA.
- insanely addictive
- platonic, romantic, and sibling relationships
this book gave me all the feels. i got attached to these characters very quickly and easily. the entire friend group really portrayed a typical friend group so well. there was dylan being the mother of the group. adam being the grumpy friend, and kellan being the funny one. faye and lori’s friendship was obviously everything. their friendship experienced so much growth, as they themselves experienced a lot change.
lori’s character development was especially meaningful to me, since i find her to be so relatable. the way her confidence grew throughout the book and the fact that she had people supporting her while she was doing that was very comforting to see.
in some ways, i also see myself in faye. she inevitably hurts the people she cares about, but she has good intentions. she’s misunderstood, which leads to her complicating all of her relationships; whether they are platonic, romantic, or familial. watching her navigate through her struggles was oddly reassuring for me.
every character is really just the epitome of a young adult trying to figure out life as it goes. whether i would agree with their choices or not, i just know that they are relatable in some way.
the summer vibes in this book were just immaculate. there was so much happening, and it felt like the drama was never-ending in the best way. also i just have to say: kellan and faye <333. i love them so much. i had the best time ever reading best vacation ever!!
thank you to Jessica Cunsolo for this arc!!

“If you really want something, fight for it. Life’s too short to let other people make your decisions for you.”
I enjoyed this book, it was an easy read with perfect summer vibes. It wasn’t anything special but it was a great time.

This book was a cute and quick read! I started reading this on wattpad and was unable to finish. So of course, I had to purchase the paperback when it was published.
To me, a little rushed. A lot happens within a 5 day vacation. I also would have appreciated an epilogue. I loved the characters and would love to see what happened after spring break. A great book about friendship and learning about yourself. Overall, a great summer read!

I listened to about 45 minutes before I couldn't take Faye's narration anymore.
This sounds like it's going to be another dramatic and low-stakes YA like those that were popular back in the 90's/00's. So probably not my thing at this time in my life.
