I will also not be putting taylor swift songs for this. Ok this feels almost like an exact copy of “Love and other words” by Christina Lauren mixed with a little bit of “the summer I turned pretty” by Jenny Han. If you liked those, you would like this because it is basically the exact same, but at a lake in Canada, but I did not like it. Im sorry, but what she did, I would not forgive that. I just could not find myself rooting for the characters to be together at all. I hate when romances think they have to end up together even if they did horrible unforgivable things to each other, like no you don’t not have to end up together, please dump her right now. Love does not conquer all, if one of them purposefully hurt the other in that malicious way. Their problems seemed a little past getting over it to be honest. I just cannot get over it, it really ruined it for me. This is not a Romcom, definitely not, it’s more sad contemporary romance. Not my cup of tea. I really just did not enjoy that at all. I do not recommend, unless the sad and toxic romance is your thing. 
I also found the writing quite boring and since I hated the main female character it made it so frustrating to hear her point of view only. 

Age rating: 15+, a few steamy scenes
