This book is gorgeous! Approaching it without having read Percy and Sam's book first was refreshing, and now I can't wait to reread it. Alice's journey toward realising she deserves more from life is beautifully written and inspiring. The characters, Alice, Charlie, and Nan, are deeply crafted, making me feel instantly connected to them. Charlie's emotional struggle about turning thirty-five was heartbreaking, and he stands out as a favourite character. Alice's growth throughout the story is like a flower unfolding, and I loved Nan's backstory and the nods to Percy and Sam. The book is lovingly crafted and truly shines.

A little too much gross sex for me, but I loved the storyline.

Well, this is definitely a GOOD summer beach read. I have already cast this movie in my head and Glen Powell is Charlie and Meghann Fahy is Alice. Do with this what you will ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sweet and cozy summer lake house romance. It was a bit slow but I loved the relationship Nan had with Charlie it was a highlight.
