I really enjoyed this read. I overall like it. I think i still preferred the structure and characters of Today, Tonight Tommrow. I also sometimes struggled to be in quinn head. I thought this representation of anxiety and depression for both quinn and her lead were super compelling. I also really loved the wedding business being the center of this read!. I also loved how this book featured a flash from the past romance. Like her previous book, this novel is also very sex positive. Lack of communication is major factor in this read both with her parents and her future carrer path and sometimes it frustrated me a tad. I also really liked the presence of creative careers at the heart of the read and also the focus on sisters realtionships. A super fun read for the summer (

3.5 Stars rounded up to 4!

CW: OCD, anxiety, depression,sexual content

Well that was adorable and I really liked the relatable characters!

I liked that the story had a bit of depth to it without feeling too laboured, if you know what I mean. Both Quinn and Tarek are trying to work out what their futures looked like away from the pressures of working in their family businesses. I was relieved there wasn't too much of the miscommunication trope as that can get wearisome. All in all a quick and enjoyable romance! (

Everything in Quinn’s family revolves around her parents’ wedding planning business. Quinn doesn’t know how to explain that she doesn’t want to join the business after she graduates, or what sort of relationship she’ll have with her family once she breaks the news. In the meantime, she’s spending her summer dutifully doing the work expected of her -- and constantly running into her crush, Tarek, who’s working for his parents’ catering company.

I liked how this explored Quinn’s anxiety, and what underlies her scepticism about romance and her fears of speaking up. (

YA romance between Quinn, a newly minted high school graduate heading to college in the fall, who is a harpist and team member at her parents wedding planning family business, and Tarek, one of her BFF since childhood who just finished up his first year of college and is a team member at HIS parents catering family business.

Lots of romantic misunderstandings between these two.

Novel mentions: mental health issues, LGBTQ, not so stringent adherence to Judaism and Islam, Orthodox Judaism, food/food allergies, sexual encounters, family dynamics.

I've really enjoyed other Rachel Lynn Solomon novels.
I guess I was expecting a lighter summer romance type of novel, but Quinn and Tarek romance just didn't make me swoon. Maybe too much drama/forgiveness/drama/forgiveness cycling? I dunno. (
