I loved this story .... It was sweet and showed the move from friendship to relationship in a way that was relatable. I loved how it even followed further in the epilogue.
Jess is an awesome up and coming author that provides clean romances in a sweet and relatable way.

Sweet summer romance
This was a good, relaxing read that is full of summer vibes. The characters are interesting, and I liked that they had depth.

REVIEW
This story is super sweet...
Growing up can be rough, and having your father send you to your grandmothers for the summer well what could be rougher.
Fin finds himself just in that place... his grandma's in a small rinky dink town.
Riley grew up in the Landings. She loves it, even if she doesn't have many friends.
She is constantly bullied by others in her school making it even worse. So when she meets and makes friends with Fin she is very happy.
This story to me is about growing up, and learning your way.
