Carley, you did a great job writing this. That's for sure. You brought me to the place and feelings of the characters. 

But, every time Persephone says stupid shit, I want to pull my hair out. Like wtf? I get that she was young and immature, but I thought she had sense. As the story progresses, I loathe her more than ever. 

The boys aren't any better. They seem sweet and friendly, but GDI, they're horrible. 

People make mistakes and most of us are flawed, but come on. I was so irritated. 

It started strong; I was excited because I stay away from second-chance romances, but it went downhill quickly.

This books was very addicted! I read it as an audio book and I really enjoyed the narrator. I love all the flash backs and found myself looking forward to learning about their past’s together! It gave me slight normal people vibes like childhood friends to lovers. Charlie is hot lol. I find the FMC very relatable and the MMC super charming! I love a lake house!!! Perfect summer read

Reading the flashes from the past I totally saw the friends to lovers. But after the 70% of the book talking about how bad it was what happened between them that was the reason for going no-contact and only on the last few pages actually learning about it I can say if I had known it earlier I would have stopped read because there are only a few things I despise in books and
cheating with his brother while clearly using the brother to then treat him like a monster after it happened and also slut-shaming your best friend and blaming her for being flirted with by the the guy you want but somehow betrayed plus
it having an unlikeable female MC is one of them if the genre is romance. (By unlikeable I mean how she treats people around her)
