Message to the author: WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME????

Where do I even start reviewing this book… I expected a lovely summer/surfer romance and got taken captive by a perfect love story that made me cry my eyes out around 1 am.

I lost my heart to Finn Summers, my ADHD golden retriever boy. He’s committed to taming the waves in a small coastal town and he doesn’t let go of that idea until he’s able to do so. I love how the author portrays his ADHD and as someone who has hyperfixation tendencies as well, I felt incredibly seen.

Now, grumpy Riddick. God knows he tried, but there was no stopping falling into the tornado that Finn is. He’s the calm to his storm, with his stern eyes and strict rules at first, later with his comfort and praise.

Go in blind, enjoy the summer vibes only a small town can give and get hooked by Finn’s and Riddick’s love story.
