Reading a summer-themed book that doesn't end up emotionally draining is such a refreshing change! I remember looking forward to beach reads but often finding them heavy or overly dramatic, so this story felt like a breath of fresh air. The dynamic between Nova and Guy reminded me of real-life friendships that develop unexpectedly when you least expect it—especially during vacations where everyone tries to unwind but life happens anyway. What truly stood out to me was the portrayal of Jaxson, the single dad's little boy. Children in stories can often be secondary, but here, Jaxson added warmth and charm that truly elevated the narrative. It’s a great reminder of how even small characters can make a big impact on a story's tone. Also, the setting of Miami added a vibrant backdrop to the whole story. The sunny, relaxed atmosphere contrasts perfectly with the characters’ personal struggles and growth, making the book a perfect summer escape. I found myself wanting to visit Miami just for the chance to experience a similar fun and carefree vibe. Finally, the humor sprinkled throughout the conversations between Nova and Guy made the read effortless and thoroughly enjoyable. It reflects how genuine connections often come from laughter and shared moments rather than just romance or conflict. For anyone searching for a summer book that’s light, fun, and genuinely sweet, this one hits all the right notes.
