Beautiful story, flawed charachters that feel real.
This is not a happy story. This is not a feel good book.
But its a fantastic emotional book filled with heart.
You will feel something, you will relate.

This was really good &honestly, the perfect hot, summer, weekend-at-the-beach read. It's easy to fall in love with the Riva siblings and the -1 star is because of all the other dang characters that got in the way! I didn't mind the actual ~supporting~ characters, but the fact that there were so many that popped in for a page and then were gone (at least for the most part) kept making me wonder if I had missed something.. and when some of them came back (ie Vaughn or Tuesday, etc), I wished they didn't since I just wanted to get back to the main storyline.

Like the sibling stuff, some of the stuff about celebrities and butts is kinda annoying

I love this author! Wonderful character development and I feel like I know them. I liked the way this book went back and forth between the characters’ history and the timeline of an epic party. You can feel the crescendo building! Make this your summer read!
