this book is an interesting mix. 

i decided to read this because i saw some of my favorite authors rate this 5 stars, and i can definitely see why. this book teaches the importance of self love and finding love in unexpected places— as the premise said.

i absolutely loved the characters and the settings. if you want to feel that summer rush adrenaline, this is a good book for you. however, i kind of wished to more memories with anise’s friends back in california. don’t get me wrong, i loved her spending time with her cousins, but i also wanted to balance that out with her friends. 

i love the concept of lincoln being disabled, it shows a good representation. but, i found the love triangle between him and eric unnecessary.

overall, it’s a fun read and would probably recommend to some people.
