What a timely read during the summer season! I even loved this book more because of the grumpy x sunshine trope. Libby and Fisher's adventures together at the island gave me a vivid imagination what the placed looked like. A home near the sea? With only 69 inhabitants and a close-knit community? That was a healing adventure. 

To add more to the nostalgic feeling, Libby visited the island to bring back memories of her mom and to escape the realities of a superstar life. And she was protected by the ever-grumpy-yet-only-smiled-at-her, Fisher with the pretty 8 year old kid, Sutton. 

Though it was not a smooth sailing kind of stay (at first), the story was just chill and it evoked a sense of belongingness and family—with the right kind of 🌶 on the side.

Summer people gave different perspectives on how to adapt to new things, and even the old.
