This is a super light and summery read. It was cute and enjoyable, but incredibly random at times. Some parts of the story just seemed to jump all over the place. Especially in the last chapter. I was left almost confused which was disappointing considering that I was enjoying this book. The miscommunication was one other thing that I disliked.

I liked the first book but enjoyed Dare to Love the Guy Next Door better. This series is best read in order because it follows a group of five friends, and you might get spoilers if you read them out of order.

Paisley and Griffin's first meeting is kind of funny. It is definitely memorable, although I was feeling pretty sorry for Paisley while trying not to laugh. I lost the battle. Griffin proves he is a true gentleman at their first meeting.

There is one scene that got me completely riled up. I was driving to work and I started fussing at Paisley and Griffin. They were dealing with miscommunication which is one of my pet peeves. I almost turned the book off because I was so aggravated

This book started out slow for me, but I loved the way it brought out dealing with grief & loss, and friendship becoming more-than. This was a sweet story, though the "miscommunication" plot detail had me ready to put the book down! I'm glad I finished the book, though.

I love reading Paisley's story. That griffin had a crush on her for so long was so sweet. Their interactions were cute and fun, and I enjoyed learning more about surfing. Like the last book, though, the buildup to what happened to be the conflict in the relationship was good but the forgiveness part of it was a little anticlimactic. I was a tad disappointed by the...non drama of it. Overall though it was a good read

This was so cute! I loved the characters, their backstories and the light humor. Super sweet, easy to read and I enjoyed the audio version as well (read by favorite narrator - Loranna Hoopes).

I wanted to like this - it was cute and funny - but it moved so, so fast. It was Insta-love on steroids. The plot moved forward so quickly that it skipped a whole key bunch of relationship development. I found the overuse of surfing a little cringeworthy. Also if I never have to hear the phrase “koala cuddle” again I’ll be happy.
