Omggg I love this book, Isla and Kai are so cute. I love the stories and being able to read both sides of the story. I perfect book to read in Summer. Only downside is that I now want a boy like Kai

Guys this is so good oh my god, Isla and Kai are so damn cute together and this is genuinely the perfect book to read during the summer (especially reading at the beach). Considering this is the authors first book it was so incredibly well written and the plot line moved perfectly. So happy with the ending, and endings are not easy to write. Amazing read, fully recommend

Found this book on KU and decided to try it even though it had no reviews. The storyline has potential, but the grammar and punctuation need refining. The dialogue also felt unnatural in many conversations between characters. I’m assuming this is a debut novel, and I think it could have been really great if an editor was involved, but this version felt more like a rough draft to me.
