I absolutely loved this book. It’s more about fashion, it’s more about a good summer. It’s about love, and acceptance, and understanding why you do what you’re good at. It’s about finding yourself and finding more friends and even love (listen, I get happy at some cliché things, and this is definitely one of them).
Abby is such a good character. She’s realistic and funny. She makes you root for her, you want her to be happy and to get what she wants. What’s more is that she makes you feel like you’re there – which is something I always enjoy in books and something I think is important to have – the ability to relate to a character.
Her love interest, Jordi, was a good character. I liked to see her passion of photography and was happy to see her as Abby’s love interest.
Another point of the book that I really liked was the romance. It was super sweet and so cute and just something that I really liked seeing. That and it had the feeling of a total rom-com – like something you could see on the big screen.
A side character I just wanted to squeeze becuase he too great was Jax – he was absolutely delightful to read. He was kind, and a good friend to my girl, Abby. And I mean, he had the best job – where can I get a job like this? Like eating burgers in the name of helping your dad? Could we carry on to trying the other foods – like the ice-cream? Or the nachos or sushi? Yes, please, I will sign up for all of those.
All in all, a very cute read, definitely perfect for the summer and great if you need a pick-me-up book with good ownvoices representation.
