Hope walks in on her boyfriend of ten years having sex with another woman. Completely hurt she runs out only to find her way to the coastal town of Loverly Cave, back to her parents and sisters she hasn’t spoken to in ten years. She meets hot surfing tattoo shop owner Alec who falls madly in love with Hope at first sight… Only Hope believes that the romance is dead…
The town of Loverly and it’s people are the most over the top but you cannot help but love them. Right from the start you get glimpses into every character’s life and after finishing this book I’m so excited to see what the other characters will go through in their books, starting with the Levine sisters!
The insta love that Alec felt was a bit much for me, but the setting of this lovely town and it’s hilarious (and tad crazy) people just made it make sense. The relationship is really fast paced but also kind of a slow burn.
Overall the story is pretty predictable but it was just such a fun summer rom-com. It takes a while but there is definitely some spice, starting with hinting one-liners going to some pretty descriptive and hot scenes!
To be honest, when I started this book, my first thought was “what in the wattpad is this?” I didn’t think the first chapter was very well written although I think it was the author’s way of making us understand the main character. Because the way she was being treated was ridiculous. It took me a bit to get into this book but once I got into it, I loved it! The writing at the beginning is why I couldn’t give it 4 stars.
Perfect summer rom com book if you’re looking for a quick read (it read so easily) to get out of a reading slump! Cannot wait for the next books!
