Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I am torn about this one! I don't usually find myself talking to the main characters in books, but I couldn't help myself in this one. Zack just makes some questionable choices. For a lot of the story, I didn't really understand his motivation behind taking the blame for Ryan's prank, aside from the fact that he thought it would make him popular. We'll just take the fact that he's a teenager into consideration when it comes to his decision making process. 

The romance was the shining start for me in this, as Chip was adorable and cute and I loved him and Zack together. They brought out the best in each other. The overall cast of characters were great, and you could also see growth in a lot of them.

Weber is defining himself as an expert in writing queer summer romances and I can't wait to see what he does next!
