The Summer of Us by Lily Morton
4.0
"love isn’t something that obeys your instructions and comes neatly packaged. It’s a wee bit wild and wilful. You don’t let yourself love, you just love.”
The Summer of Us was everything I wanted in a book at the moment. Mild enemies to lovers plot with some angst thrown in, and a GFY cherry on top. There were sickly sweet parts and steamy scenes, butt virgin anyone? The relationship played out pretty organically in my opinion as it didn't start off with love at first sight banging. Matty and Johnny became friends first. They enjoyed each others company. Then that bond turned into more. We get the big miscommunication, but the epilogue is truly adorable with humor thrown in like the rest of the book.
