This book was the perfect summer read while traveling! 

The main characters, Justin and Emma, were super lovable and I felt connected to them instantly! The dual-perspective was done so well to add more insight into the characters, their actions, and motivations which I really enjoyed!

This book had a lot going on outside of the main romance plot, but I found that it was masterfully weaved in to enhance the main plot and add depth. The integration of family dynamics and childhood trauma added a relatable and realistic side to the characters.

Although the relationship felt a bit like insta-love, I enjoyed seeing it build and deepen over time! I would absolutely recommend this book, I can't wait to read more from Abby Jimenez!
