I liked the setting for this one, and the way the leads challenged each other. I'm not sure why this one didn't satisfy me as much as her other books.

A story about a daughter who loses her perfect father, but only then to find out that her perfect father isn't quite a perfect men. 
January spends the summer in her father's second home. Where he lived a double life and slowly by slowly january starts to heal and along the way she falls into an up unexpected romance with an unexpected old friend.
This book takes you through a variety of grief of acceptance of understanding of anger but also love and at times you're both angry with your characters but also very emotionally spent. But all in all, this was a fun read, that was perfect for the summer.
