Really enjoyed it. Much spicier than the summer we fell which I wasn't expecting. the main characters were lovable, even if I was pissed off with them at times. It did make me well up at one point. 

I'll definitely be finishing the series.

Probably 3.5 - 4 🌶

This story has my emotions in a spin. 

A perfect summer read with a slow burn to die for.

The cover doesn't lend itself for what the story is really about. At first glance the cartoon cover suggests that it'll be a cute summer rom com but it was anything but. This book has layers and carried a level of intrigue that made me want to keep on reading. 

Will definitely be recommending
