3.5/5

the chemistry? WOW. the yearning? WOW.

so so good. carley fortune says in her acknowledgments that her main goal for this book was to”fun” and i think that really is true to the book. it’s a fun read and it also speaks to growing up and growing into ourselves.

PSA: there’s lots of sex. which, the premise is that they are secretly screwing each other but .. just so you know.

It was cuter than I expected, the MCs had good chemistry, the setting (PEI, a little Toronto) was refreshing and ideal for my taste, the emphasis on platonic love and the meaning of family was great (the MC's relationships with her best friend and aunt were moving). The time jumps could be a little confusing at times but not a big problem.
