Reviews with content warning for Grief - Every Summer After

I absolutely adored this one! This one has me thinking that soulmates really *do* exist (lol). I loved the dual timeline and how we get to watch Percy and Same grow up and grow into who they are today. Sam's love for Percy is seriously the cutest thing. The spiciness is definitely laid back, but I don't mind because steam isn't a major factor in this storyline. This book was almost a perfect 5star read for me, until towards the end when my least favorite trope showed up. I knew it was coming, and had predicted it early on, but it still happened and I was quite upset lol. The ending and epilogue made up for it though! I definitely recommend this one :)

Vegyes érzéseim vannak ezzel a könyvel kapcsolatban.

Két idősíkon fut a történet és az a helyzet, hogy nekem a "múltbeli" tinédzser románc sokkal jobban bejött, mint a harmincas főszereplő nyáladzása. A tinikről tudjuk, hogy kínosak, azok voltak, azok lesznek, mert még csak most fedezik fel igazán a világot és a kapcsolatokat. Egy felnőtt szereplőtől azonban a történetben nyújtottaktól többet várnék el. Főleg,

ha valakinek a temetéséről van szó! Nyilván Sam és mindenki a kisvárosból már felkészült Sue halálára, egy hosszan elhúzódó betegség során könnyebb átesni a gyászon. Percyt azonban újságként éri a hír, így egyszerűen képtelen voltam felfogni, hogy ilyen helyzetben hogyan tud szinte kizárólag Sam testére gondolni, nyáladzani, és azt taperolni.

Én úgy érzem simán kihagyható lett volna az oda-vissza ugrálás az időkben, jobban tetszett volna kerettörténetként a jelen idősíkja.

A pánikrohamokról nem is beszélve. Szerintem nem lett megoldva ez a szál, és saját tapasztalatok alapján úgy gondolom, hogy sokkal összetettebb ez a probléma és jelenség, mint ahogyan a regényben be van mutatva.

Girl meets boy next door romance told in dual timelines, their time together as teenagers and present day, about 12 years later. The coming of age plotline was sweet, but the present day plotline hinted at a past conflict that has kept them apart for over a decade. Once they are able to communicate, issues are resolved in a somewhat predictable manner, but it was an enjoyable, though poignant, read.
