Oh my goodness I loved this one - Poppy and Alex forever! I enjoyed the friends-to-lovers slow burn and going back through their previous summer trips together, it added a lot of depth to their relationship. The characters felt real and relatable, and I just couldn’t wait to sit down and read more of their story. And it was also just really funny, too!

I also thought of my husband and the relationship we have at various points while reading it, which just made me feel all the more warm and fuzzy. And I thought it was fun that I bought this book the day after he’d proposed to me, and now that I’ve read it I’m like hmm was it a subtle sign from the universe? :)

I’m not sure that I’ve enjoyed a contemporary rom-com this much before. I liked Beach Read but this one stole my heart 🧡
