Quick Thoughts 1. I thought this was a really sweet summery romance book. It satisfied my need for some contemporary once summer hit. 2. I really loved that plot twist at the end of this book. I wasn't expecting it at all and it was heartbreaking. 3. I enjoyed seeing the differences between these two families. It made it better that they were complete opposites and it was cool seeing both characters figure out each other's families. 4. This was just a great, easy to read book and I would recommend it for sure!
