Very insta-love, total lack of communication trope. I didn't really connect with Fern. I'm not sure I would have been able to overlook Will's secretive nature.

I'm a Carley Fortune fan, but I think the main characters in this one fell short for me.  They were very wishy-washy, either all in or nothing at all, and I didn't enjoy that.  I thought the side characters were great fun, and the plot was interesting.  Overall, I liked it, but didn't love it.

Guhhhh. Loved. This Summer Will Be Different remains my fave, but this is maybe my second fave of this author’s. There are a couple things that frustrated me about the way things resolved (who went to who, I disagreed with) but overall this is such a warm cup of tea to read.
