Too many god references in just the prologue, had read too many grief-based books this month.

This is a book I put on my summer tbr since it gave off summer vibes (hence the title.) 

This one sadly fell a bit flat for me. I did enjoy it, it was bingeable (I read it in two days) but it didn’t hit like I was hoping it would. I felt like some parts of the book lacked a bit of depth. There were some scenes or lines that told me what was happening rather showing me. 

I did still think this book had a beautiful message and would still recommend. It is a lot about friendships and how those continue to grow and thrive over time and through hard experiences and grief. 

I would definitely look up trigger warnings for this book though! The book cover looks like it’s a fun summer read and while it is at times, it touches on heavier subjects as well.

I really enjoyed this story about college friends and the pact they make after a tragic event. It’s about enduring friendship and being there to celebrate the good times and support each other during the bad times.
