I'm always down for a bucket list book, especially one that takes place in Australia and has ALLLL the LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergence rep. We follow Cyra as she transplants her life to Paradise Bay after her mother enters therapy for her OCD. At the beginning, I was leery of the portrayal of OCD but it really improves once we delve into the descriptions of intrusive thoughts. Cyra tries to keep everyone in her life at arms length, and she gets to grow from this cynic into a heroine worthy of a rom-com. This is a great YA romance novel that will leave you dreaming of summer.
