This is my favorite read of 2023 so far, I loved it so much.
He’s mine, and I’m his. It doesn’t matter what the last page says.
Nora and Charlie’s banter and chemistry is amazing. When their annoyed tones as a result from their less than stellar first meeting slowly turn to subtle flirting to outright dancing around a summer fling and being pleased with themselves for getting the reactions out of the other that they wanted? I was screaming, dancing, happy crying.
Nora’s sister Libby created a checklist for the month of their vacation. Crazy little things to unwind and do something different. For awhile, Nora was working through the list with Libby because she felt that’s what her sister wanted and she wanted to always be there for her sister. At one point, she was truly enjoying her time in Sunshine Falls, and Charlie was a big part of that.
The confessions were equally heart warming and heart wrenching. They know it’s just a summer fling, don’t you dare say goodbye.
“A week ago, I liked you so much I would have wanted to try to make this work. But now I think I might love you too much for that.”
“Of course I love you, Nora. If I loved you any less, I’d be trying to convince you that you could be happy here. You have no idea how badly I wish I could be enough.”
“If anyone could be enough, I think it might be you.” and I was crying.
I knew they’d work something out and be together again, all they had to do was follow their heart.
