I liked Taylor a lot. She has that lady in the streets, freak in the sheets thing going for her and I love it. I loved how honest Taylor and Myles were with each other and how they communicated openly. Myles was honest and kind and he really gives the whole softie at heart vibes. I really liked their chemistry, the sexual tension was really good and the sex scenes were HOT. This wasn't bad. I had swore off Tessa Bailey books because of her writing style and how cringy her s&x scenes were, THEN she decided to put out a murder mystery and I love stuff like that. I decided to give her a second chance.

But all the things I can say about this novel - the narrative, the descriptions, the characters - fade away in comparison to the true meaning of the story: sex. that insta-lust to insta-love journey over five days is wild but what's even more wild is every single myles chapter. usually i'm screaming at the top of my lungs for dual pov. in this case - i would beg the author to get rid of the myles chapters. We readers are immediately informed that he's NEVER felt like this before. Never been so attracted to another woman, never wanted another oyster like he craves hers. I thought I'd be here writing about how awful her FMC was, and how cringe the relationship was but, not really. She nailed those this time.If you want to read the spicy chapters in It Happened One Summer, head to chapters 16, 18, 21 and 26. You can choose to skip those chapters to make this book a close-door romance read. Is There A Book After It Happened One Summer? this doesn’t even account for the fact that he’s so protective over her 😭 he sleeps on her porch to protect her from the killer that’s on the loose, he jumped onto top of her to prevent her from getting hit by a flying object, he freaks out at the THOUGHT of her getting hurt, period. This book is filled with the most flawed characters, hence making it the most perfect, angst-filled, and realistic love story. I've read enough books written by her so far to know that there are only two reasons someone could like her stories: they didn't have their Wattpad phase - and/or they never got behind it - or someone really needs to get laid. Work it tight, baby. Baby. Perfect for me. Jesus Christ. Don’t you ever get hurt on me again. Don’t you ever.”

Fun fact: I felt less uncomfortable when I read Fifty Shades of Grey. Let's be clear: most of the time Myles doesn't think with his brain, but what the hell were those thoughts while they were having sex?! If a guy would express these types of thoughts in such moment I’d just disappear from his life, end of the story. First of all, I'm not a fan of the love-at-first-sight trope because being good-looking doesn't necessarily mean you're attractive. What will happen when you'll get old and you'll start having grey hair and your boobs won't be the same? I'll tell you: divorce.

is it a rom-com if there was barely any rom and the com made me desperate enough to want to watch a couple snl compilations?? I feel hollowed out. Am I now proceeding with caution when it comes to Tessa Bailey? Yes. The trust has somewhat been fractured. 🥲 I don't mind it, I do think Tessa Bailey is great at writing erotica, but it's so obvious that it's the plot of the book. Not Taylor and Jude’s little holiday, not the mystery murder… the plot is these two having sex. be so for real now, can a woman who is in her mid-twenties and a man in his mid-thirties can become sexually addicted to each other at first sight and can fall in love in just four days? i can’t even choose which elective courses i’m going to take for uni in a week 💀 ps - idk who told this man he has heartburn, sweetheart I think your heart burned near Taylor because of love, not INDIGESTION put those antacids away!!! 😭

And it has to be a cliché, or what is even the point? Myles is tall and grumpy, but so sweet on the inside; Taylor is short and cute - so cute -, but she's also smoking hot and she wants a Man.

please, the way tanaz asked me, while i was reading this, if i liked brendan (from it happened one summer) or myles better and i go…“who’s brendan?” And when it came to that murder mystery—the reason I was so excited for this to begin with—I was disappointed there too. I wanted clues and suspects and red herrings. Instead, the story just eventually revealed the guilty party, without any sort of buildup. Never laughed harder in my life than them getting interrupted every time they came close to having sex. Jude chokes and I jump to my feet, prepared to perform the Heimlich maneuver.❞ - the more I read tho the more I just fell in love with her, please this is the funniest thing ever and reminds me of my mum who thinks if I sneeze/cough once = covid 😭
