Sydney and Asher spend their summers together at the lake with their parents. Sounds like the perfect way to fall in love right? Wrong! During the summer the two teenagers go out of their way to prank each other. On their last summer before college it’s go big or go home in the war they have.

When a prank goes horribly wrong both families are kicked out of their lake houses and forced to live together for the rest of the summer. It’s then that Sydney and Asher decide to call truce and team up to prank the woman who kicked them out of their houses. While spending so much time together in close quarters the two start to develop feelings for each other and just maybe realize the pranks from all these years have actually been a mask to hide how much they really care for each other.

I loved this book. It had hilarious scenes laced with romance and cute flashbacks that showed what started the pranks to begin with. I found my self routing for this couple from beginning to end.

Special thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

Absolutely adorable! Such a fun quirky read fans of slow burn contemporary will love this! I can’t wait to read this again and again

4.5/5
This book had the perfect balance of layers and swoon.
I always love reading stories about childhood friends becoming something more, and this book took a great spin on it. I think the relationship between Sidney and Asher was developed really well; it didn't feel rushed, and I enjoyed all of their scenes together.
I would have liked to see more closure with Caleb, it seemed like he was "dismissed" really suddenly. But overall, it was a beautifully developed story that I truly enjoyed reading. I read it in one sitting and couldn't put it down, so definitely recommend!

I was not the biggest fan of this, I just couldn't get into the story. Oh well, maybe her next book will be for me :) because I liked her 2019 release

I adored this YA romance for so many reasons! This wasn't just a fluffy romance, it had layers and it had depth as these two 18 year old summer neighbors realize their feelings for each other and try to navigate their relationship. The flashbacks were delightful in adding to the present moment and helped the reader truly understand how they got to the point they are as they are about to head off to college. I really liked the pacing and this was a book I quickly devoured. If you are a fan of Anna and the French Kiss by Perkins or a fan of Kasie West, this book is for you! Thank you netgalley for this arc in exchange for my honest opinion.

Ash and Sidney have been spending their holidays with their parents in the same lakes houses every year for the last 6 years. All this time they considered themselves archenemies swaping pranks with each other. This year is different, they are seniors and it's probably the last time they are spending all 2 months at the lakes. After Sidney's prank gone wrong they are forced to vacate the houses and look for other accommodation which lands them in one house. With a complete lack of trust and shared bathroom new things come into the light. It turns out that Asher has always liked Sidney insted of hating her. With years of pranking and mistrust in the past Ash and Sid try to build a relationship (although Sid is very sceptic about it).

I love love love this book! They way Ash and Sid talk to each other is an utter and ongoing flirt! With lots of swoonworthy scenes and exchanges between the characters you won't be able to book the book down till the very last pade! I highly recommend it!
