I really really liked this book, the characters are just so good and I loved their ongoing bet for our main plot while exploring their relationship together and with everyone around them.
Also loved the casual lesbian relationship of aunt Pete and her wife! I love when it’s just there and it’s not made to be a big deal or part of the plot.

I didn’t find myself emerged in it though, it took me quite a while to finish because I kept getting distracted..

Definitely like Emily Henry’s writing style though, so I’ll check out more of her work soon!

If the water is a lake I don't think you can call the land a beach.... In which case this read had very little beach.

I did enjoy the story and the idea of the bet. It's a rivals to lovers story but I wish it had a more in the rivals section. She seemed to get over her jealousy/hatred/whatever very easily

There was a lot of hype surrounding this book but it far exceeded my high expectations. Emily Henry has raised my standards for the romance genre and how much depth it can contain.

Would recommend the audiobook version read by Julia Whelan
