Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.
I liked the characters: June, her brother Dylan, her best friend Sana & her crush Levi. Both Levi & June are going through a relationship issues. June's is worse than Levi's, while Levi's relationship with Kelly is hanging by a thread, he isn't going through public humiliation as new meme worthy "Crying Girl".
When Levi is discovered in Benson Beach, in Tea Tide, the shop June owns. Sana, June's bestie, who get strong Awkwafina vibes from, devises a plan to get back at their exs by publicly dating each other. The viral sensation brings business to Tea Tide, which keeps it afloat for the time being.
I liked the small town beach setting, the quirky shops & bars brought character to the story.
I liked the writing style, although I wished I could have read more of a dual perspective. I wanted to know about how Levi was feeling during the Revenge Ex situation. I wanted to know what he was going through with his relationship with Kelly & what he thinking in terms of his future. I loved that June & Levi were high school buddies, really good family friends & had hidden crushes on each other.
.
The book was a medium paced read but it kept my attention, what was going to happen with June & Levi, Tea Tide, Dylan & Mateo's wedding & Sana's future in journalism. I liked the characters & the overall atmosphere of the book.
I definitely want to read more from Emma Lord. I am glad I was able to read this book & to find a new author that I liked.
