The Summer We Fell by Elizabeth O'Roark
3.0
emotional hopeful medium-paced
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated


This was one angsty read about Juliet who meets Luke though her boyfriend and develops a friendship due to their heartbreaking up bringing. We see them as adults 10 years later, brought back together for a fundraiser and their connection is as strong as ever. The dual timeline gave us a great backstory but I always struggle with cheating storylines. This was a messy relationship but at the end, I love how they helped each other heal.
