This story follows Beyah Grim, a self-reliant teen forced to spend the summer with her estranged father after a personal tragedy. There, she meets Samson—her mysterious, privileged neighbor—and the two form a cautious connection built on unspoken pain. What starts off casual quickly turns into something more, catching Beyah off guard.
Overall, this was just an *okay* read for me. While Beyah’s guarded personality made her tough to connect with early on, her bond with Samson helped soften her edges as the story progressed. Colleen Hoover’s signature emotional intensity is there, but this one didn’t fully land. A few bright spots, but not a standout.

3⭐️. This was not my favorite COHO book, it was just okay. It is a very quick read, I read in two short sittings. It also reads like a young adult novella. It feels very short, very fast paced and lacks depth. She’s still one of my favorite authors but this one wasn’t a slam dunk, but still happy to have read it.
omg bye this book is so good and so cute miss colleen is incredibly talented about to go read every single one of her books
I fly through coho books. Quick easy reads with enjoyable storylines. I really enjoyed this book. Summer vibes

Read in a day, the perfect holiday read. Fast paced, emotional, gripping, I didn’t predict the twist. Fantastic book.
