What can I say about this book? I liked the characters Cruz and Ellery and I found their love story very cute. There is something I want to mention that did make me give this book a lower star rating. In the beginning I felt that the story was choppy, finding out a major plot point only half way through felt like it came out of nowhere. I think it would have been better from the beginning embedded throughout to build suspense. Another point i have to state is the ending felt very rushed explaining the reason behind everything in a chapter and a bit felt like it could have lasted longer.

Although these plot points did confuse me it did not stop me from continuing and when I found out the truth I did gasp 😮 was definitely not expecting that. This will lead us into the next book which I will continue because I need to know about Jenica and Jake who I hope will be a reverse grumpy sunshine because I can see that happening.

Anyways to my actual star rating I would say this is a 3.75 for me the spice is good and I want to end it with the quote that I had to highlight I have to paraphrase though you will understand “Midnight, Eleven thirty four and one thiry. The time of our first kiss, the first time we had s3x and the time on my dashboard when I last kissed you. Oh and one more. Eight forty five. This morning when I realised how much I love you” 
Cruz is so romantic 🥰 


Set in the summer of '91 in the boardwalk town of Cherry Cove, GA, Never Tear Us Apart has a killer mixtape, suspense, dark summer vibes, curveballs, fastballs, strikeouts, & more! Be sure to check triggers.
