This book was just so sweet, and honestly so relatable in so many ways.

Lily was such a likeable MC. She was human and made mistakes but all her mistakes felt so completely understandable. She reminded me so much of myself, running away from problems instead of tackling them head on because it seems easier, even though it only ever makes things harder.

I also ADORED Cassie. Ugh she was just such a beautiful friend and an even better love interest. Her and Lily’s relationship just made me so, so happy.

This book also had a really interesting twin sibling dynamic that I enjoyed, even though I didn’t like Daisy very much. I like that she owned her behaviour in the end and agreed to work on some things.

And just shoutout to Cal for being the kindest, loveliest, most understanding human ever? I need a sequel where Cal sticks around as the supportive bestie pls.

I can’t recommend this enough if you’re looking for a sweet summer read.
