Synopsis: 
They have a love-hate relationship with summer.

Sidney and Asher should have clicked. Two star swimmers forced to spend their summers on a lake together sounds like the perfect match. But it’s the same every year—in between cookouts and boat rides and family-imposed bonfires, Sidney and Asher spend the dog days of summer finding the ultimate ways to prank each other. And now, after their senior year, they’re determined to make it the most epic summer yet.

But their plans are thrown in sudden jeopardy when their feud causes their families to be kicked out of their beloved lake houses. Once in their new accommodations, Sidney expects the prank war to continue as usual. But then she gets a note—Meet me at midnight. And Asher has a proposition for her: join forces for one last summer of epic pranks, against a shared enemy—the woman who kicked them out.

Their truce should make things simpler, but six years of tormenting one another isn’t so easy to ignore. Kind of like the undeniable attraction growing between them.

 My Rating: 

My Thoughts:
This was such a cute romance. My rating for this a 3.75 star. I wanted to give this a solid 4, but I feel like something was still missing for me especially after having read her previous novel When Summer Ends. The writing was beautiful and the characters were interesting. I loved the dual perspectives as each character had a distinct voice.

The story follows star swimmers Sidney and Asher while they are enjoying their family vacation by lake. A normal, quiet vacation turns into a prank war between the two. They seek to win one up on the other which then turns their enemies relationship into a beautiful romance. The romance was pretty organic which I truly appreciated. Nothing was rushed. Filled with humor, cute banter, immature fun and sweet words. There were a few parts that I felt it dragged, but I was still invested in the characters as individuals and a couple.

Overall, I truly enjoyed this book and can't wait to read more from Jessica!

Jessica Pennington is no stranger to the combination of love and drama. She’s a wedding planner, after all.
