These two frustrated the heck out of me while I rooted for the side characters.

Ending is unsatisfying and feels like it needs an epilogue a couple years in the future.

I have adored the author's Hundred Oaks series and was a bit nervous that this book wouldn't live up to my expectations. Boy, I'm so glad how wrong I was. Lulu and Alex's complicated love story is told over four years of high school but only on May 7th, the day of their annual field trip. Besides the present day, readers are given flashbacks to important events in their lives that occurred during the year.
I did feel like the ending was a bit rushed but it was the end of the day. I really hope the author writes an epilogue for everyone taking place on May 7th a few years in the future.

This review and many more can be found on my blog: Feed Your Fiction Addiction
This romance chronicles one couple’s romance over four years of high school—from its roots as an enemies-to-lovers romance, through break-ups and reunions, until the pair finally go off to college—the question is will they make it that far together or will all the complications of life get in their way? It focuses on four specific days that made a big difference in their relationship and flips between timelines so that you get little glimpses of the past and the present along the way. The result is intriguing because you’re always curious how the couple ended up where they’re at in each timeline. I felt like the book is a pretty realistic portrayal of a lot of high school romances and the big and small things that can get in the way of making a relationship work. Sometimes Lulu and Alex seem perfect for each other, and other times they just seem a little too self-absorbed to truly make a connection. In the end, they have to make it past all that to get to their happily ever after.
