I saw the twist coming and felt it was obvious, but I kept reading because I didn’t want that to be the twist. The ending felt rushed and not believable, but I loved the “before” chapters. Fortune did an amazing job with character development, depicting young love and the transition from friends to lovers in a tender way. I really felt the tension and yearning when Sam and Percy were young. However, I found the characters’ actions from THE summer unforgivable, and don’t think that’s something that could have been resolved in a weekend-especially a weekend like that one.

Reading this in the dead of winter has been such a treat! I wasn’t too keen on this author’s writing style at first, but I changed my tune pretty quickly.
Overall, this was a quick read that pulled at my heartstrings, tapped into feelings of nostalgia and even revved my engine.
