Are you starting to get ready for your summer reads?! Make sure you add this to the list! It's a perfect start for the summer and I loved it!

The writing was wonderful, it made me feel those first love flutters in my own stomach, and Lucy, our main character, will capture your heart with her heartfelt honesty.
