Quick and easy summer read. It has YA vibes with young adult characters - the spice is all fade to black. It’s sad, touching, and sweet at different points. I found it really enjoyable and once I got into it, it was a really quick read.

I don't know why I didn't give this book five stars! It had all the potential! I loved the couple, I loved the backstory, I loved the sideline characters.... I guess, to quote Abby Lee Miller "You were good, I'm waiting for you to be great." because that's what it felt like to me. This book could've been higher rated, but I felt like the writing style was cringey at times and it had the potential for an amazing book and it ultimately fell flat. I still enjoyed it, but I think I would've enjoyed it more if it had a sequel or something.

In the mood for a rom-com in a book? Put on your favorite Taylor Swift playlist and piece together the puzzle of Meredith and Wit. I couldn't have asked for a better ending for their story.

Well... this certainly was a book that I've read. Honestly, I feel like this book was just kind of mediocre and unfortunately really unmemorable. I was a little worried that the Taylor Swift theming was going to mean that this was a book that was very much not meant to age more than a couple years, but that was really the least of the reasons this book won't last forever. Mostly, it just felt rushed which made for a kind of boring book that didn't really go anywhere.

I get this was a romance, and insta-love is a thing, but there was no real build from friends to lovers - all of a sudden it just happened. Between that and how young Meredith is, this really made for a relationship that felt so much like a quick rebound after a long-term relationship breakup, and there was nothing to make it feel like anything other than that. The side characters were definitely the most interesting parts of the book and I wish we'd seen more of them.

The first half of this was so sweet and swoony, while also touching on some grief that Meredith and her family are coming out of- literally so good!! But I really don’t like the miscommunication trope, and the YA nature of this book came out in full force in the immaturity in Mer and Wit’s communication closer to the end of the week. But I adore their relationship and enjoyed the atmosphere of Martha’s Vineyard, with the added backdrop of the assassin game (one I have played too). I wish Mer had more character development as she came to terms with her grief. And I also hated Luli and she made me angry. This closed door, new adult/YA romance was a great summer read.

Overall this was an enjoyable read. It was, at times, a bit cringey for me, but I’m pretty particular about my romances, so that is not necessarily an indicator of quality 😂 I really loved Wit’s character, and the backdrop of the Assassin game brought a really unique quality to the book.
