Till Summer Do Us Part (Deluxe Edition)

Where do I start...
The characters great!
The plot amazing!
Spiciness off the charts!

It was the perfect blend of hilarious situations, romantic moments and beautiful chaos. I loved the idea of a marriage summer camp, completed with fun activities and playing Never Have I Ever by the camp fire.

This will be a book I reread every year!

Let's talk ART! The illustrations deserve its own five star rating. I pre-ordered both the Deluxe Edition from Books Are Awesome with the exclusive spicy vellum overlay, as well as the Barnes & Noble Exclusive Edition. Each and every image was chef's kiss, and matched the descriptions perfectly!

We need more images!!!!!!!

One thing I noticed right away was that the author seems to have a familiar writing style, especially in the way she sets up the story. The whole game competition element reminded me a lot of her other book I read, How My Neighbor Stole Christmas. While the settings are different, the overall plot pattern felt quite similar. It made me realize this might be her go-to style, which I can appreciate, but it did make the story feel a little predictable. The banter between the characters was fun and kept me entertained, but honestly, the spice was a bit much for me, especially towards the last quarter of the book. It became overwhelming, and I found myself wishing for a bit more balance.

In a way I don’t even know what to say about this book. It was so quirky and chaotic at points but somehow it all worked. Scottie wasn’t my favorite FMC at the beginning. You can tell she’s been through a lot but she was a bit uptight while also being a hot mess all at once. Her character grew on me significantly though. Whereas I loved Wilder from the get go because he was FREAKING ADORABLE! Wilder is the definition of a book boyfriend... there is too much perfect going on in one man here but I ate it up! Plus I’m always down for the fake dating/marriage trope. I do want to note there might not be a ton of explicitly spicy chapters but there is a ton of references to sex so if that’s not your thing, this might not be the summer romance you want to pick up. Me, on the other hand, didn’t mind a single second of it 😏

Very funny
