“When I watch you sleep,” he said shakily, “I feel overwhelmed that you exist.”

5 stars

I picked up Beach Reads expecting a fun summery romance, but ended up on an emotional rollercoaster that brought a tear to my eye in the best way. I loved how the book discussed the complexities of love and what it truly means to have a happy ending.

I'm a sucker for yearning and pining in romance, so I really enjoyed January and Gus's story. It felt bittersweet leaving them on the last page, but satisfying knowing that they found their happy-for-nows with each other.
