Summa time

This boom definitely made me miss summer time! Love the romance, not as spicy as some of Ivy's other books. But did love the humor.

My One negative comment would be, stop adding the lines that include "tucked a piece of loose hair behind me ear" (this goes for all of the books) because it is said throughout the books several times.

Yes, I did that. I immediately thought of Grease once I read the title. Did that mean I had to jump into this book? Well of course it did. I dropped everything like it was on fire and dove into this. Do I regret it? Not really but I do think the characters could have been better.

In it, you will meet Mila. She is all kinds of needy but who wouldn't be after they walked in on their boyfriend naked with another girl. Another girl that his friends all knew about and like better. So, yeah, her life was kind of shitty and she needed a fresh start. Away from California.

So while she's serving out ice cream and doing some light stalking on the cute lifeguard, Mila finds her new happiness. Away from all the bad and douche baggery of it all. Her ex was all kinds of mental and I'm glad that "his" friends dropped her of their little planet. They were a bunch of assholes.

J.J. was way better for her even though he was a little douche canoe in the beginning. Who cares about the distance if you are in love - YA IDIOT! Even though this relationship was all kinds of insta-whatever, they were cute... when she wasn't being super needy.

In the end, I'm glad that they both listened to their hearts and created a life together.

This is my favorite book of the Sweet Cravings series! I adore JJ and Mila!! This spicy rom-com is SURE to be one of your fav reads whether it be at the beach or wishing you were at the beach (like me in Ohio in December - lol!). I cannot say enough good things about this book. The only down side is.... I want more JJ and Mila! I just can't get enough of their cute story.

So entertaining!!! Such an easy read and a perfect summer romance novel.

I love the way Ivy Smoak writes. This book is a breath of fresh air. Simple and yet, something most have probably gone through. It shows what healthy relationships are and what a good guy looks like. Also that you don’t have to stay on the the path you’ve set up, that’s it’s okay to change one’s mind.

This book really has something for everyone.
