First of all y’all ever write a whole review and then accidentally delete it? because same. I have  a lot of feelings about this book. My main concern being that 2 of the four “spicy” scene take place when the fmc and mmc are between the ages of 17-18. Can we please stop including this in novels like this?? Colleen hoover does it in It Ends With Us and while i am no where near comparing the two authors or books, it is weird and rather unsettling. Second of all i loved loved loved the twist of the betrayal however i wish it was ever so slightly less predictable. We open with the call from charlie and her inner monologue about revisiting the incident. As they keep coming what i am sure a intended to be easy going flirting with  your best friend’s whose only a couple of years older (when your beat friend is so obviously into, that it assumably is meant to be a way for Charlie to pick on Sam) it quickly becomes very predatory and unsettling, especially when Charlie and Sam make up and you want to keep Charlie in a good light. Also it is 100% miscommunication at its finest and Low key sucks.

I was so sure this was 5 stars for until about 80%. I just didn’t like what happened but it wrapped up fine.

“I loved you so much that the word ‘love’ didn’t seem big enough for how I felt.”

I read this surprisingly quick despite not really liking it. I didn’t mind the alternating chapters between present day and the past but I did find myself enjoying g the chapters in the past more. I feel like there was no difference in the narrative voice between the past where our main character was 13-17 and the present where she was 30. While I did enjoy the childhood to lovers and second chance romance aspects of this book the conflicts never really felt all that serious and the main conflict at the end was such a weird development. Percy and Sam were never gonna not end up together and it took so long for really no reason.
