They worked so well together (despite all the miscommunication and secrets) and their romance was so fun to follow. To me they felt very real – Saoirse is dealing with some quite difficult things in her family life and is so scared about letting people in due to her past relationships, and Ruby is a romantic with a big heart who cares so much about her family. I’m going to start with things I liked about this book and then move onto the things that weren’t exactly my cup of tea.įirst of all, I really enjoyed Saoirse and Ruby – the two main characters. I think I’m gonna tackle this review a bit differently to how I normally go about them. It would be the perfect plan, if they weren’t forgetting one thing about the Falling in Love Montage: when it’s over, the characters actually fall in love… for real. Unbothered by Saoirse’s no-relationships rulebook, Ruby proposes a loophole: They don’t need true love to have one summer of fun, complete with every cliché, rom-com montage-worthy date they can dream up-and a binding agreement to end their romance come fall. For a girl with one blue freckle, an irresistible sense of mischief, and a passion for rom-coms. She doesn’t see the point in igniting any romantic sparks if she’s bound to burn out.īut after a chance encounter at an end-of-term house party, Saoirse is about to break her own rules. A condition that Saoirse may one day turn out to have inherited. If they were real, her mother would still be able to remember her name and not in a care home with early onset dementia.
