What I Didn’t Like:

Some scenes I would’ve liked to see. We fast forward through some things that I would’ve wanted added, but overall I get why they weren’t included.
Teens making poor choices. Not a deal breaker for me as I think it’s realistic. But if you’re not a fan of YA books where teens do stupid questionable things it might bother you. Call it a content warning.

Great characters! I adored Morgan and Josh. They’re chemistry, their personalities, and their banter worked.
The setting is perfect. This story wouldn’t work in today’s world of cell phones and GPS. It absolutely had to be set in the 90s. I questioned whether that was going to work (I worried today’s teens won’t relate) but it’s well balanced so that wasn’t an issue.
Relatable. The message here is about learning who you are and what’s important. That’s a relatable message and it’s learned in a great way.

Fans of contemporary coming-of-age slice-of-life style books will adore this one. It’s just well written and amazing. I already ordered book 2!
YA romance fans … hear me out. If you like slow burn romance with good banter, these characters are lovable and adorable.
