This book will fill you full of hope, love and so much more. Then it will break your heart but put it back together a few times. It’s worth every bit of the roller coaster of emotions you feel. I think I’ll be thinking about risk story for months to come. It’s just one that stays with you. It captivated me I love the alternating story line between the time periods and peeling back layers to understand the characters and their actions. The story follows three main characters: Liv, Finn and Tom. Liv and Finn meet while both working at the Seaglass bar- he is a lead singer in band and she is working the bar. There is instant chemistry. Then Liv experiences the worst news ever and Finn must return to LA for band and writing music. They agree on no contact and to meet back in the summer. Six summers to fall in love. In the seven summer Liv meets Tom.
This story is not your typical romance. It has so much more. Liv has the most character growth- she experiences grief, loss, heartbreak, love. She has endured a lot of pain and seems to come out stronger each time. I loved watching f her become more confident in herself.

I wish this book was part of a series. I want more of the epilogue years like the earlier seven summers. Not sure my heart can take it but I need more! Many thanks to PENGUIN GROUP Putnam | G.P. Putnam's Sons and NetGalley for the digital review copy of this novel. All opinions expressed in this review are my own.
