The story flips between past and present, following Percy and Sam through six childhood summers and then one present-day reunion. I loved how nostalgic the summer scenes felt. It really captured that feeling of growing up, first love, and those moments that shape you without realizing it at the time. Sam was especially easy to love, and their connection felt real and effortless.
What kept me hooked was the mystery of what went wrong between them. You know from the start that something big happened, and the slow reveal made it hard to put down. When everything finally came to light, it was messy and a little heartbreaking, but also believable, which made it hit harder.
The only reason this wasn’t a full five stars for me is that some parts felt a bit predictable, and I wanted just a little more from the ending emotionally. Still, it was satisfying and fit the story well.
Also, I just started the limited series on Netflix and it’s been fun to see the story come to life in a different way. I’m curious to see how closely it sticks to the book.
Overall, it’s a cozy, emotional, second-chance romance with strong summer nostalgia and just enough depth to make it memorable. Perfect if you want something heartfelt but still easy to sink into.
★★★★
