I’d give Every Summer After 3.5 stars. The flashbacks were easily my favorite part, but the ending felt rushed—we waited almost the whole book to learn what Percy did, only for it to be tied up in just a few pages. While it was a quick read that made me laugh out loud at times, I couldn’t bring myself to really like the FMC. Honestly, half the time I was just wondering what on earth was wrong with Percy.

Not my faaavorite, but it was okay! Once again, I liked reading the author's notes at the end. I definitely felt her lake-cabin-nostalgia energy throughout the books. Some of the flashbacks and teenager moments were a little too cringy and unbelievable for me. It reminded me of People We Meet on Vacation, but I connected more with those characters.
