Nice easy read. Slight cliche that Dylan is the 'rich-troubled kid' with the spoilt 'boo hoo daddy cut me off' friend who falls in love with the 'poor working class' girl, but once you get over that it is a sweet story. Interesting story telling from both Dylan and Addie's both of view from both 'then' and 'now'. Predicatable ending but ideal summer holiday read.

I wanted to like this book so bad, but I disliked all the characters by the end except the sister. I pushed through but was so close to DNF ing it. Definitely not a heartwarming romance.

It’s a pretty good book. I listened to it on audible and enjoyed the readers and I think my score is higher because if them than if I had read it on my own. It started out fun and hopefully and got pretty dark and I didn’t enjoy it nearly as much as I thought I would.
