Publisher's Summary
From New York Times best-selling author Penelope Ward comes a friends-to-lovers story spanning more than a decade....
At first, I thought I’d hate spending the summer with Archie Remington—the conceited son of my parents’ friends. What I knew about Archie: He was gorgeous, pre-law, and had always treated me like I didn’t exist when we were younger. When our families bought a house together on an island in Maine, he and I were forced to share a bathroom.
The boy I remembered was now a full-grown man—but with the same attitude. After a rough start, Archie and I unexpectedly started getting along one day and eventually became friends. We shared secrets and bonded during our morning jogs. I discovered that Archie had a wild spirit and that he struggled to conform to his father’s expectations.
Things were cool until I had to go and ruin it, getting drunk one night, and blurting out my fantasy—involving him.
I took it back, but it was too late. Archie had heard me loud and clear. After that, we never quite knew how to toe the line. When that summer came to an abrupt and shocking end, I headed back to college, unsure if anything would ever be the same again. Across the miles over the years, he and I stayed in touch as friends, but fate and timing always kept us from becoming more.
You know the saying: If two people are meant to be, they’ll find their way back to each other?
Let’s just say Archie came back into my life in a way I would’ve never expected. And this time, my heart would really be put to the test.

Beautiful story
What a rollercoaster. I particularly loved the trueness of the epilogue rather than an easy “perfect” one.
Performances were phenomenal!

Brilliant
I loved this. Some times I was frustrated because it took so long for the two characters to finally connect. But my goodness. Their friendship. Their fears. The story. It was stunning. Narrators were perfect.

Great read
Really enjoyed this book. I did get frustrated with Archie for taking so long to get his shit together but character development was great. Great performances by Erin and Jacob as usual.

Another good one
I have to hand it to Penelope Ward, she comes up with a unique story every time, which is hard to find in rom-coms.

Angst and sex - no, thank you
Ok, the first half of this book was them being teenagers - angst and sexual tension. Then they are adults - angst and sexual tension. There is zero humour, plot (other than miscommunication/lost chances), or anything else that might have lifted this book from the mire it is stuck in. If it has been a cheaper book, I would have ditched it by 50%.
If you like 95% slow drama, followed by 5% mush, then this is the book for you.
Also, the hero is just a kicked puppy and the narrator does his very best to portray this.

Definitely recommend!!!
Star Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice Level: 🔥🔥🔥
This book was a lot better than I was expecting! I absolutely loved listening to Noelle and Archie's story's and reading from both characters point of views. I loved that the author included both past and present events as it explained how they met and how they built such a strong connection. I absolutely loved how passionate and caring the pair were towards eachother. I felt alot of deep emotions while reading this book and i found myself constantly being curious of what was going to happen as i progressed through the chapters. While reading I constantly had this nagging feeling that I wanted them to be more upfront about their feelings, which I found kept me interested in the story. I absolutely loved the ending, but part of me wishes their was a second book as I crave knowing what happened after the book ended. The only thing that kinda frustrated me is some of the narration for the audio book felt a bit lacking in emotion and a bit robotic at times. But the story itself made it worth while. If you are considering reading, I definitely recommend this book!

Toxic codependency is not love
Started off with potential but got ridiculous & the ending was nonsensical. Very disappointing.
