SLOW CLAP FOR CHARLIE FLOREK

oh my god this book was incredible! since the moment i finished every summer after i KNEW i needed a charlie HEA more than i needed air, and we finally have it! 

this book was so fun and flirty but also deeply romantic, yet also somber and heartbreaking?? the duality of a romance book! 

charlie and alice were everything to me! their dynamic was so perfect. they surprised each other and complemented each other and understood each other like no other!!! i was so enthralled by their friendship that slowly turned into something more, which neither of them expected or were prepared for. i love it when love sneaks up on our main characters, and it was just as angsty and mutual pining-y (? stay with me here folks) as you would have expected! 

this was the perfect summer romance with the perfect summer fling and i just loved every second of it! 

thank you Berkley Romance and Netgalley for this earc! it's out everywhere on 5/6
