 I let the cute cover and the uber-adorable pictures fool me into thinking that this was an entertaining read on second chance love with a likable protagonist who spends a summer redeeming herself from her mistakes. I only read the blurb and charged ahead without reading any reviews. This was my mistake. 
 Note to self: Don't read another story again about a love triangle that involves competing brothers. The intense, angsty kind. Unless I carefully read the reviews. It makes me too crazy. I lose brain cells. I already spent enough time reading The Summer I Turned Pretty Trilogy and it was anything but pretty for me. 
 The secondary characters were underdeveloped and uninteresting. Ms. Cotugno could have done much more with Imogen, Penn, Fabian, and especially Desi. (view spoiler)[For instance, Penn could have been there for Molly to help her find her way back to trusting her mom. Her children Fabian and Desi were obviously attached to Molly, so maybe something more on their relationship to Molly to help her anchor, or at least feel acceptance from strangers. Or it would help her remove herself from a toxic situation. (hide spoiler)] 
 What it ended up being for me was pure frustration with Molly's choices! (view spoiler)[I hated that she did not learn her lesson but repeated her mistakes over and over, hurting so many people while she hurricanes through the lives of everyone involved. 
 Let's call a spade and spade. She was CHEATING! Here's what she ended up learning: The blame should not be placed solely on her because it takes two people to cheat. That it's unfair that the girl always gets labeled as the cheater and the guy doesn't. Don't trust mom because she will write about your love life and publish the story, and don't try to make amends with her. Do share with your friend but don't listen to her advice. Keep apologizing but continue to make the same mistakes, and at the end, run away because reputation doesn't carry over to a new place. (hide spoiler)] 
 So, a fair warning--it's cliche but so true in this case--don't judge this book by the cover.
