This was such a good and fun read! I liked this more than It Happened One Summer simply because I liked these characters so much more. They were more... relatable to me than Piper and Brendan. I loved that it was about them figuring themselves out - together. They both helped each other find who they are. I really liked Hannah's character, and Fox is so great! Although the name 😅

I am finding that I like Tessa Bailey's characters and stories and I'm glad Fox at least used the nickname of "Freckles" because I'm still not a fan of the "baby" pet name 🙈

Sweet. Sentimental. Not a lot of spice but the parts that are spicy are exceptionally well written. Grumpy sunshine meets friends to lovers meets taboo sexual encounter. Exactly what you want a romcom novel to be.

What a great sequel! The buildup to Hannah & Fox's relationship was really sweet and it made sense with the timeline which was something I was worried about. Instead of playing into the playboy trope, Bailey makes important points about "pretty boys" and what toxic masculinity can do to them.

I honestly didn't expect the book to become this deep but it just made the ending and Hannah & Fox's HEA all the sweeter. They've truly worked through their issues and Fox is ready for this new chapter! Hannah is a really endearing heroine — she spends a lot of time thinking of herself as the hype girl and not the main lady but she eventually comes into herself and realises that she can support her friends & family and still be that leading lady she wants to be.

Bailey still riles me up with her doing a 90% drama instead of a normal 75% — it just stresses me out okay — but besides that, I really enjoyed this book and I'll pick up more of her rom-coms!

The Epilogue was better than the book. This book had really cute moments and really cringey ones too. It’s not as spicy as ppl made it seem, especially compared to “it happened one summer” the spice was at a 2 honestly. To me it was few and far between and when it was spicy it was also cringey. This book reminds me of the Netflix movie series “after”. It had the potential to be good but it really just lacked in random place throughout the book.

I absolutely adored the ending of this book! This was my first book by Tessa Bailey and I will definitely be reading more. I really enjoyed how she move in different threads and themes into a romance especially the need to believe in yourself.
