My rating is 4.75 because it wasn't perfect, but im rounding up.
This book is not for everyone and please check the warnings first. Still, I found the story hopeful and extremely emotional. I still feel like I'm going to cry. I love Jordan so much and wanted the best for him and to give him a big hug and never let a bad thing happen to him ever again

Had this at 4.75 rating but have since decided I'm too in love with it and it's close enough to 5 stars anyway.
I highly recommend this for anyone in love with reading about a close group of friends. The mystery aspect was fine and definitely enjoyable. Though, the book was agonizingly slow at most parts in my personal opinion. But the friendship made me fall in love anyway and saved the whole thing for me. It was honestly my favorite thing about the book and without it I would have stopped reading tbh. This found family MADE this story for me and I'll always love these characters!! Definitely a new fave!!

Okay so I cried. Awesome. I'm sad now.
Tons of parts I didn't care for but overall an emotional experience that's taking up a place in my chest

I am happy to say I loved this!!! Went in a bit worried I wouldn't, but thank god I was wrong. Not a perfect 5 stars simply because I rolled my eyes at a lot of parts. But overall extremely cute!!!

The Summer That Melted Everything by Tiffany McDaniel
Did not finish book. Stopped at 45%.

I tried reading this last year and then got bored and wasn't enjoying it. Tried to pick it back up today because I was interested at one point and thought it would be fair to give it another shot. I forgot every bit I read and don't care about the characters enough to keep going. Tbh I think it's just not for me. It happens
