This book is a YA novel full of adventure, romance and representation. The MC is Andrea, who is determined to have the best summer ever after spending the previous summer recovering from a cerebral palsy surgery. She has made a Best Summer Ever list with 8 steps to having the best summer of your life. On that list is a secret ninth item to fall out of love with her best friend Hailee because she does not want to ruin their friendship. Andrea and Hailee's friendship is well developed in the book any their interactions are genuine and realistic. I gave the book a four star rating because the characters seemed a bit juvenile instead of being young adults. It's a great coming of age story and it's full of heart.
Thank you to Hear Our Voices Tour for providing me a copy of this book for my honest review.
