I will admit that I tend to judge a book by the cover, I know, I know, but I made an exception for this book and I’m so glad I did. I heard about it on TikTok and I was instantly intrigued by the plot. A girl who can see when people die meets a girl that’s going to die at the end of the summer? Sign me up! I was expecting it to be heartbreaking, but it truly just made my heart swell.

The characters caught my attention immediately and something about the fast food setting brought me back to the YA books I used to read in the mid-2000s and I loved it! There was a perfect amount of focus on loss without taking away from the main point of the story which was love and what there is to gain.

The writing was beautiful and I was genuinely surprised to find a book of this quality on Kindle Unlimited, but I’m so glad I accidentally came across it. The pacing was a little off at points, but not enough to be too distracting or noticeable. I wish that we’d gotten to read more about their numbers and why they are the only ones who can see them, but I’m guessing there wasn’t enough room to include it.

Overall, this is a cute lighthearted story about two girls who spend their summer falling in love. I recommend it to anyone who wants a quick, adorable, romantic read!

My CAWPILE score was 9.43 which is equivalent to five stars!
