Throughout reading this book I experienced all of the emotions - love, hate, confusion, swooning, pity, and even disgust. More than once my eyes watered with sadness and despair. The sweet moments were hard to enjoy because you just knew that inevitably a sorrowful moment was soon to follow.
When I began reading this book I didn't know that it is a retelling of "Something Like Summer" by Jay Bell; I thought it was a stand-alone. It was recommended through Kindle Unlimited and I hardly read the synopsis before deciding to just dive right in. I believe it's recommended that you read the "Something Like" series first, but I'm honestly so glad that I read this version first. Because it broke my f**king heart. To learn afterwards that there is another version out there that doesn't hurt quite as much was a weight lifted off my shoulders. Regardless of what order you choose to read them in, or if you choose to only read this book, I 100% recommend it!
