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.

I don’t typically enjoy books about people finding their way back to each other. I don’t believe in revisiting past relationships, especially from high school or younger, but this book made me believe in what individual growth can bring to a past relationship.

I was halfway thru this when someone told me it’s basically copy/paste of Love & Other Words by Christina Lauren, which I own but haven’t read yet. So I will hold my thoughts and review until after I read that one

Edited to add: I’ve now read love and other words and can confirm it’s dangerously close in a lot of aspects. That being said, tropes are tropes for a reason and there aren’t very many wholly unique ideas in the genre. I will say that I like the bulk of this story better than love & other words, it’s just done better. But the ending here was not good, and it leaves you feeling like one of the characters deserves better and the twist ending is just a little too icky. This could’ve been 4-4.5 if not for the finale, in my opinion.
