this was such a fun surprise — seven days in june by tia williams was a FAVE of mine, and this is a YA spinoff with the daughter of seven days’ FMC 😍

it gives slight booksmart vibes — audre is your classic good girl who neeeeeeds to loosen up. enter: bash, surfer boy with a mysterious edge who everyyyyyone loves.

she of course hires him to be her fun consultant for the summer, and they’re for sure JUST FRIENDS… until they aren’t. 😏 it’s fun, it feels like summer, it tackles some deep themes, and it was awesome on audio! (thank you, @librofm, for my ALC!)

i just couldn’t STAND how insufferable eva was here — maybe the downside to having the story told from a pissed-off teenage POV? 🫠

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for this one, i really liked it
