For Readers of: 2sLGBTQ+, Audio, Contemporary Romance, Contemporary, Sparkly Cover, Racial/Ethnic Diversity (Bi-Racial One is Black and White and the other is Black and Korean), Body Diversity (one is plus size), Opposites attractOpposites attract in this contemporary, sweet, sapphic romance about two girls who reluctantly come together for a summer challenge.
Heaven and Saylor could not be more different. Saylor is bubbly, popular, athletic, and always partnered up. Heaven is grumpy and artistic, prefers her skateboard to people, and has never dated anyone. So no one would believe they’d agree to spend the entire summer together.
Yet, that’s exactly what happened. When Saylor Ford breaks her arm at Basketball camp, distracted by her mom’s internet fame discussing Saylor’s newfound sexuality, she becomes determined not to spend the summer stuck at home with the woman. Her one saving grace is a girl she’s pretty sure can’t stand her but that she finds absolutely irresistible. Heaven Goo-Campbell. Thankfully, Heaven is willing to let Saylor in on her Summer Bingo challenge, but for a price. Saylor has to help Heaven establish a social media page showcasing her art for her future career as a tattoo artist.
0They didn’t plan on the intimacy of spending each day together and the deepening feelings that followed. Soon, they become something more than a shared project. But can the girls even have a future together when Saylor is wary of bringing their relationship out into the light—too afraid that her mom’s status as a popular influencer will give Saylor and timid Heaven more attention than they can handle?
*MY THOUGHTS*
This is one of the cutest books I’ve read in a long time! I read it just as the weather started heating up! It made it so much more fun!
One of my favorite things about this book was the Bingo game. And I KNOW this isn’t the biggest thing about this, but still. I thought this was adorable and a great way to stop the “summer slide.” I loved her parents and I wanted to ask her dad for a Bingo card of my own lol To make it better, I was glad they found each other and got it completed.
The other thing I liked about this was the characters. Like yes, I loved the characters, but I also liked them as individual characters as well. I loved that they found each other even though they were so different. The opposites attract trope is so fun because it allows you to see them both let their walls down and embrace the other and it’s always so sweet to see. And omg their first kiss is adorable! I don’t want to say anything more than that because spoilers, but I thought it was super cute.
The only reason I didn’t rate this higher is because there was no climax? Like the whole book was building up to this ending that never came. And yes I know that’s not a bad thing for some, but it felt like this was heading toward something, and when it just went to a convo with one of their moms and then it was over, it just felt like a little unfinished. Luckily I liked literally everything else about this.
This was cute! A great book to recommend to those that are looking for a head start on some summer lovin romance picks! A sapphic pick that you don’t want to miss!
Overall, I give this
