After a post-hookup falling out, ex best friends still have to work at their mothers' ice cream truck. It's up to them to get it to an important event. So friends or no, they have to embark on a road trip that will make or break their friendship.
There were lots of cute things about this. I loved the premise and the ice cream puns, and an opposites attract dynamic can be adorable. The writing style was quirky with little fourth wall breaks that were fun. I also think this book does a good job discussing consent. It is sex-positive and centers consent, but there isn't graphic sexual content, which I think makes it more accessible to some readers.
However, a lot of this book hinged on miscommunication that just lasted way too long. I do think that *some* of that miscommunication would have made sense for the book, but it went on too long and was frustrating. I definitely think that it could work for some readers, but maybe not for me.
If you're looking for a cute summer romance with discussion of friendship and ice cream puns, and are okay with/enjoy miscommunication in a romance plot, definitely pick it up.
I received an ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
