This was such a cute, summery read. I read this over Spring Break and it was the perfect lighthearted romance to relax with—it gives you all the emotions and angst without completely ripping your heart to shreds. I love the flashback between Then and Now, and the development of the childhood friends to lovers and their reunion as adults. The cute nicknames, innocent teenage love, small town vibes, and quirky family gave this book such a Hallmark feel. I also loved Sam’s character development and realization of who she truly is, and the cute banter between her and Wyatt.

I’m not much of a beach person, but this book absolutely made me want to relax with the sea breeze and a beachy cocktail! I’ll definitely be reading whatever Annabel Monaghan writes next!
