What a great sequel! The buildup to Hannah & Fox's relationship was really sweet and it made sense with the timeline which was something I was worried about. Instead of playing into the playboy trope, Bailey makes important points about "pretty boys" and what toxic masculinity can do to them.
I honestly didn't expect the book to become this deep but it just made the ending and Hannah & Fox's HEA all the sweeter. They've truly worked through their issues and Fox is ready for this new chapter! Hannah is a really endearing heroine — she spends a lot of time thinking of herself as the hype girl and not the main lady but she eventually comes into herself and realises that she can support her friends & family and still be that leading lady she wants to be.
Bailey still riles me up with her doing a 90% drama instead of a normal 75% — it just stresses me out okay — but besides that, I really enjoyed this book and I'll pick up more of her rom-coms!

The Epilogue was better than the book. This book had really cute moments and really cringey ones too. It’s not as spicy as ppl made it seem, especially compared to “it happened one summer” the spice was at a 2 honestly. To me it was few and far between and when it was spicy it was also cringey. This book reminds me of the Netflix movie series “after”. It had the potential to be good but it really just lacked in random place throughout the book.

I absolutely adored the ending of this book! This was my first book by Tessa Bailey and I will definitely be reading more. I really enjoyed how she move in different threads and themes into a romance especially the need to believe in yourself.

I think I liked this??? Surprised that I enjoyed this less than the first book in the series. Loved the PNW setting as well as the music references. Very fun.
