3.0

This book really surprised me! I was expecting a beachy romcom but the plot involves a missing husband with Russia ties, teens exploring their sexuality and a character with a secret traumatic past. Overall I'd say the story was 4 stars but it was a little too drawn out for me - I had to skim through some sections because there was so much going on and it felt like a lot of unnecessary dialog.
