this was an emotional read all around but I did not connect to the main characters as much as I would’ve liked to. I feel like this was a me problem not a book problem so I absolutely recommend this book. This book covers young summer love, adult summer love , grief, loss and so much more. Overall I liked this book and I did get choked up at times. If I would’ve connected more with the main characters I feel like I would’ve rated this higher. I am also not a fan of the miscommunication trope and this had a bit of that I just wanted to shake the main characters and say..say what you mean and mean what you say! They were making things more difficult for themselves than it needed to be and that was an annoying part of the reading journey for me. The ending seemed a bit abrupt and rushed but still tied everything up together nicely. This wasn’t my favorite summer romance book but it wasn’t the worst either. I enjoyed the alternating timelines of the current summer and past summers to tell the full love story of the characters.
