My least favorite of the whole series; I could have done without reading it to be honest. I know this is a corny, teen summer romance series but this book was just...strange. I would have liked it better if it revolved entirely around the “will they, won’t they” drama of Austin and Summer’s relationship than the weird mother abandoning her child with Diana and Marquez and Diana’s incessant distrust of Seth and Summer. I was honestly disappointed to see Diana behave this way, when I felt like she had a bit of redemption in the last book. Also, you want me to believe it snowed in the Florida Keys? Please...
