I got an advanced e-ARC from NetGalley in exchange for a review. Thanks, NetGalley!
This is your typical young-adult-summer-romance story, with a few differences in it that makes it stand out from other typical stories of this genre. The male lead, Aiden, quits the baseball team at the beginning of summer due to him slowly losing his vision (which only his family knows about), and slowly starts a relationship with his ex-catcher's ex-girlfriend, Olivia, who starts working at the River Depot store after failing to score an internship at a lake magazine, "Lake Lights".
Being that this is the first book by the author that I've read, I didn't know what to expect. Although there is a splatter of cuss words, I still found this book realistic and enjoyable. Olivia's realization of her true feelings of her relationship with Zander (her ex) didn't feel rushed or slow, but as if it happened in real time.
I do like that there was an epilogue at the end that revealed what happened after the summer. It felt like a nice little wrap up to the story.
This is one worth reading for fans of young adult summer reads.
