Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an advanced copy for an honest review.

If you liked The People We Meet on Vacation or Every Summer After, then this read is for you!

Ren and Joni are lifelong best friends and in true fashion, they are inseparable, until a job takes Joni away. To keep the friendship alive, they decide to make a pact to be each other’s plus ones every year during wedding season.

Naturally, there are challenges and obstacles that make them wonder if the friendship they cherish will survive the distance, until something happens that might ruin it forever.

Filled with forced proximity at their families’ shared summer home, Ren and Joni must reconcile their mistakes and decide if their friendship is worth it or will they let each other go forever.

Ren is certified book boyfriend material and his relationship with Joni is everything I love in romance novels.

This will be an incredible beach read for the summer!
