“I did want you. I do want you. I’ve always wanted you.”

I adore a childhood friends-to-lovers / second chance romance, so there was no question that I was going to love Every Summer After. It also made me feel nostalgic, so this was a win-win-win for me!

It’s hard not to fall in love with Sam & Percy from the get-go. My favorite thing about Percy was her love of horror movies and her desire to become a writer, and my favorite thing about Sam was how sweet and supportive he always was.

There’s definitely some not so great things here - like miscommunication and cheating, which aren’t my favorite. But, I was sold for 90% of this book. I smiled and giggled and felt butterflies in those young, innocent moments between Sam & Percy.

I think the tough part for me is having read Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren 4 years ago and really enjoying that one. It was one of the first romances I’ve read, and I still love those characters to this day. So, I did kind of feel like I was reading another version of the same story. 

That aside, I did love this book. I think I’m going to rate it 4.5 stars. That feels true to my feelings. It’s also the same rating I gave Love and Other Words… so I’m gonna do the one thing everyone says not to do. I’m reading this books back to back. I’m gonna re-read one of my favorite romances. Let’s do the thing. 😏

An adult Summer I Turned Pretty, woo hoo! The only thing I didn’t love was how spicy it got, but otherwise I really connected with this.

I love this book. I don’t always love second-chance romance but this was perfect. I loved that it flitted back and forth between them getting together and the present. The depiction of grief and pain and love between these two, past and present was so well written; and the forgiveness that had to happen.

Very similar to Love and Other Words. Percy and Sam grew up next to each other at the summer cabin, fell in love and then reconnected years later after not speaking. I wasn’t expecting the twist! Solid romance read, I would recommend.
