It was a reasonable story and as I had read the two summer novels, and this fell in between them I was really just filling in some of the blanks that probably did not need to be filled in. I probably would have benefited from reading something else instead.

This was a good book. There was a love triangle.

Ich hatte das noch zu Hause und brauchte ein Buch, das ich in einem Rutsch im Zug lesen kann. Dafür war es gut. Hab die anderen beiden Teile mit 13/14 gelesen und geliebt. Aber für mein erwachsenes Empfinden war das nix

Read before Tanlines, that way the things that occur in Tanlines will make so much more sense. Good.

I enjoyed this book, I really did. I thought it had some really interesting elements to the plot but at some points I felt like it was getting to be very predictable. Maybe that's why I like this series, a predictable summer themed love story with good friends. Either way I really enjoyed this book and I love the series of course! I would recommend the book and the series as a whole!

Pros

1. As sad as this is I don't think I have one.

Cons

1. It was rather unnecessary. Like I didn't get why half the things that were in the book were there and it just generally kind of sucked.

2. I only bought it because I planned on reading tan lines and this is the book in between but I don't know any more.

3. Austin was an unnecessary character and Summer was just annoying me.

4. I really didn't enjoy this at all which is a shame because I really enjoyed beach blondes.

I was never a Seth fan anyways. Bring on the Austin. He better come back.

And I want some romance for Diver!

This book was pretty meh for me. Maybe it’s because it was book 4 in a series and I didn’t know that until they kept referencing things that had happened in the previous books. I didn’t connect with any of the characters, and I felt like the timeline moved too quickly for anything to feel as if it had substance.
Summer was a pretty basic character. Her relationship with Seth was kinda cute. Austin just gave me creepy vibes. He couldn’t respect that Summer was in a relationship, and he kept pushing. He was also instantly in love with her which I didn’t like. I felt like he was a coward who was just preying on Summer being nice in order to avoid his feelings and the things he was supposed to do. I also didn’t like Marquez. I thought she was a bad friend.
It was a pretty quick read and light read. It touched on a couple of heavier topics briefly but never really dove into them. I didn’t really get any romance out of the book at all, and I didn’t care for the love triangle that was building.
