emotional hopeful relaxing

Honestly, I liked this book. The end felt rushed tho, for no reason really. It felt real, dealt with real issues, the friendship was beautiful in ways, but I dont know whether there was done right for
Summer's death. I also don't think Tyson fully went through his grief and I don't know whether him ending up with Lainey was really helpful for him.
I do think the character development was good, mostly when it comes to Lainey I think. 
So this book is a raw mess of life.

End was rushed, story lacked substance. It had a chance to do something but fell flat. Writing / storytelling was somehow both chaotic and boring

A close group of friends make a pact to always be there for each other. Tackles grief, love and hope.

My original review is below..Until I started thinking about the whole book and remembering the beginning. I had forgotten about it because it was not critical to the story. Upon further reflection, I believe it was included for gratuitous reasons. Obviously, I was able to get past that. However, that topic should not be used as a plot twist and this book could be horribly upsetting and traumatic to others. Its inclusion didn’t feel genuine to me. Shame on me for continuing to read. 1 star

3.0. Beach read. This was better than her most recent books. Cute and predictable. It was a nice way to spend a lazy summer afternoon reading on the deck
