Say You Swear had moments that hit emotionally, especially within the central relationship, but overall it didn’t devastate me the way I expected. Ari and Noah’s growth resonated, while other characters — particularly Chase — left me frustrated. The beach house, university, and heartbreak vibes were strong, but the late-book tragedy felt jarring and undercut the pacing. The payoff didn’t land for me, and instead made the story feel overly soap opera–like. While it wasn’t a bad read, it didn’t rise to the level of the big emotional series I usually love.
Noah and Ari.. swoon!! Chase had his chance but the boy was a fool but I love Noah!!

I fell first, and I fell hard. Noah Riley is on another level. He is absolutely everything and more. The man had barely spoken a word, and I was down bad, so by the end of the book, you best believe this man has stolen my entire heart and soul. Damn, what a journey this book was.
This book is chunky, and whilst there were a couple chapters at the beginning that I think we could have maybe skipped, I appreciated the building of the story. The second Noah was introduced, I no longer cared how big the book was because I simply forgot I was reading. I was utterly consumed by him and Arianna. Their story. I honestly don't have the words.
The story does involve a love triangle, which I know a lot of people don't like, but I beg you to not let that sway you. It's worth it, I assure you! The side characters were amazing, and the story had my emotions all over the place. I swear the first half of the book all I did was smile, and the last half all I did was cry. It's EMOTIONAL! I can't go into any more detail without spoilers, which I would never want to share because I went in blind and did not expect to go through the pain and happiness I did. Everyone should go into this blind to really feel it.
To summarise, Arianna and Noah have my heart. Noah is now cemented in my top 5 fictional men for sure. Love the characters and the story and Chase... Well, I'll let you find out.
I 100% recommend and will absolutely read time and time again. I just need to let my heart heal a little first.
