the perfect summer read 🩷🏖️👙🌊🐚

It’s been getting warmer outside and I’m in such a summer reading mood so I picked up Alex, Approximately and I loved it so much!!!

It’s set at a small beach town in California and it felt like I was just strolling the boardwalk and watching people surf and it was just so good. It was so wholesome and sweet reading about young love 🥹

I love a ya romance and this is the perfect one for summer! Highly recommend adding it to your summer tbr!
