Publisher Description
“If you love a good enemies-to-lovers trope, run—don’t walk—to the nearest bookstore or library near you.” —BuzzFeed
"I couldn’t put it down!” —New York Times bestselling author Simone Elkeles
When Tyson Trice finds himself tossed into the wealthy community of Pacific Hills, he expects not to belong. Not that he cares. After recovering from being shot and surviving the rough streets of Lindenwood, he doesn’t care about anyone or anything.
Golden girl Nandy Smith has spent most of her life building the pristine image it takes to make it in Pacific Hills. After learning that her parents are taking in a troubled teen boy, Nandy fears her summer plans and her reputation will go up in flames.
The wall between their bedrooms feels as thin as the line between love and hate. But their growing attraction won't be denied. Soon Trice is bringing Nandy out of her shell and Nandy's trying to melt the ice around Trice's heart. But with the ever-present pull back to Lindenwood, it’ll be a wonder if Trice makes it through this summer at all.

Review
The book was okay. I felt that the writing was a bit...cringy at times. It just wasn’t realistic and was cheesy. And to be honest, I found it hard to love Trice and Nandy. The way in which they fell in love was rushed, I think. I realize that they knew each other when they were younger, but It would have been better if it were a slower transition into their romantic relationship.
It tried to touch on the topic of toxic masculinity and how boys are socialized to hide their emotions beneath anger. But ultimately, (in my opinion) it fell short.
