This was such a sweet romance story!! I appreciated how Lucy and Felixโs relationship grew a deep connection with mutual respect and love.
Plus, their chemistry felt so strong from the start, and the spice was spicing.

The friendship between Lucy and Bridget was equally important. While I didnโt love how certain aspects played out (such as The Big Reason), their relationship was so endearing.
Iโm ALL for celebrating friendship and community as much as partnership.

The setting of this story - which alternated between Toronto and Prince Edward Island - was totally immersive, and it makes me want to visit PEI immediately.
Plus, all the nods to Anne of Green Gables were lovely.
There was a somber thread woven through the story. From the grief of loss to the pain of growth, it made this book feel incredibly human and impactful.

Some of the internal growth felt a little rushed at the end, and I wish we wouldโve seen some throughout the middle.
But I fully appreciated how they developed their relationship and came to certain decisions.
The authorโs note at the end talked about the importance of โfunโ and how we all need more of it in our lives. I agree, and this book exemplifies that.
Overall, if you want a swoony and steamy summer romance, I recommend this book!!
