Ef it, five stars for Charlie Florek. 

Another Carley Fortune book read in a single day. There’s something so easy and satisfying about her books. I just devour them like I’m starving. 

I also really loved Alice because I adore her growth within these pages and I like her more than Percy and I like Charlie more than Sam… and together, I just enjoyed them. I knew what was up: it’s kind of obvious from the get go why Charlie doesn’t want to get serious. 🤷‍♀️ One thing about Charlie is that he’s always thinking of others. You could even see it in Every Summer After. He was constantly thinking about how to make Percy feel better - calling out his brother for his idiocy. He’s always been a guy who focuses on the others in his life. He fits so well with Alice.

I just really enjoyed every minute of their time together. 💖
