This is such a lovely read.  I really enjoyed this book and all the characters it had to offer.  The romance wasn’t overly angsty and the ending was super cute.  It was a bit of a slow burn seeing only parts of there summer together mixed in with current day.

Not to say the character development wasn't strong for all the characters but it was especially strong for Will.  Seeing him accept himself and not caring so much about what other’s want of him or what they expect of him—instead he took his own path.

There were still sad moments and a side character death that absolutely is devastating.

Lara is easily a favorite; naturally I hated her at first but she won me over.  As long as you're on Lara's side you'll be fine.  Out of all the friendships in this book Lara and Oliver are hands down my favorite.  They had a bit of a rough start but when they teamed up they were basically unstoppable.
