Piper flees her Massachusetts home for the summer to forget about her ex-girlfriend, Judith, and to work for, horseback ride and learn from an Olympic champion. She is staying with her grandmother, MaMolly, who also wants Piper to learn to drive, something she's been avoiding for a while. MaMolly hires Kat to teach Piper to drive. Kat, who is questioning her sexuality, is instantly attracted to Piper. The feeling is mutual. However, Piper is still not over Judith and uses photos of her and Kat to make Judith jealous. I'm sure I don't have to spell out what happens in the end--flirting, misunderstandings, etc. I typical, but totally enjoyable rom-com. P.S. Not much horseback riding takes place in the book. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

With the summer running out, will they be able to unlock a future together? "Piper and Kat are imperfect, but always trying their best--aren't we all?--and Brown had me rooting for them all the way through this sweet, slow burn romance. Their triumphs, their blunders, and the way they swing between confidence and self-doubt are utterly relatable."--Misa Sigura, award-winning author of It's Not Like It's a Secret Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
