�� 4 stars

It took me two months of spending every moment with another person, or thinking about that person, to come to the conclusion that their place is next to me.
And mine is next to her.

�� I am really, really happy to be able to give this book 4 stars.
I thought I wouldn't like it that much, but instead I loved it. It's the first book of this genre that I read and I have to say that I'm a little sorry I didn't read it before.
if you want to read a short book, where the story is original, the characters are better than each other then this is the perfect book.
I didn't like the first 100 pages very much, and that's fine because the story still had to get going, but after page 101 onwards the story became crazy.

- the part that I liked the most was the love story between summer and rhett.
a perfect emines to lovers, at the beginning summer and rhett didn't know each other, or rather rhett didn't know summer because summer let's say she always had a crush on rhett 😅.
their first meeting we can say that it wasn't one of the best, but rhett had immediately understood that summer wasn't a girl like her fans, on the contrary she was a brave and very determined woman. thanks to kip's help they met and from there they never left each other again.
at the beginning summer and rhett were together because they had to for work, but it took just one more look to understand that in reality they weren't together because they had to, but because they wanted to. in a short time their friendship became something more, rhett and summer became inseparable because where there was one, there was also the other.
the most beautiful part to read of their whole love story was when summer understood that rhett was not well with just one look, and even though rhett did not want her to help him, summer did everything she could to help him. I think this part was the engine of this whole story, because from then on their relationship changed for the better.

- another thing that I loved madly were Rhett and Jasper's brothers. even though the Eaton brothers have a very bad past due to the lack of their mother, they didn't let it get them down and they slowly managed to accept this absence by making each other strong.
I can't talk much about them yet, having only read one book, but I can say that I already love them all and I'm super curious to read their stories.
among all of them I loved Cade the most, I think it's also because I was struck by the speech he gave to Rhett when he was about to leave Summer for good because he thought he didn't deserve her.
Cade is the usual older boy, someone who knows what he wants to do, but above all he has a huge heart because he cares about the best for his brother and would do anything for Rhett and his brothers.

�� summer:
I love you, I really loved this character, but for a specific reason: her growth.
let's be clear, summer has always been a brave and very determined girl, but thanks to rhett and her father kip she understood many new things, the most important I think is the fact that summer didn't have to do what others expected her to do, but that she had to do what she wanted. that's where the problems for her started, because she had always done what made her father happy plus what she liked, and for this reason when she was fired she didn't know what to do anymore, because she didn't know what he really liked.
I think summer is the most altruistic character I've ever read, because just like rhett says she wants to be seen as strong even if she isn't, and despite this she will always think first of the people she loves first and then of herself, but thanks to rhett she understood that she had the priority, and that in addition to taking care of others, she had to learn to take care of herself.

She is healthy, and strong, and robust, and yet she is also so fragile.

�� rhett:
at first he was too much of a show-off, but then little by little he started to change for the better, especially towards summer.
I really liked him as a boy because he is a real patsy, a great golden boy.
at first I really didn't like how he behaved towards summer at all, okay they didn't know each other yet but he could have been a little nicer with her, but despite that I can say that when he started to know summer better he became much nicer and I started to like him a lot more.
I think he is the golden boy par excellence, the way he worried about summer and the way he talked about her I loved it, I always thought that every time rhett looked at summer he had heart eyes.
in short I really loved him as a character, but I have to say one thing: no long hair, he needs to cut it!!

I want to take care of her, even if she doesn't need it at all.

�� summer + rhett ��
they are half of each other, together they are perfect together, a quote that encapsulates their love is this:

“I love your freckles, they remind me of all the constellations. As if I could join them together to compose images. Right here, there are two of them so close that they almost seem like a single freckle��.
“Like binary stars��, I whisper.
“What are binary stars?��
“They are two stars that seem like a single star when we observe them in the sky. In reality, however, they are two. Held together by gravitational attraction, always in orbit around each other��.
“A bit like us two, held together��.

I wanted to include this quote because it represents what summer and rhett are.
the two of them are good together and are happy, they don’t need anything else, as long as they are both happy and they are fine. I really liked this because they don't expect anything from the other person except their love and I think this is the most important thing that should be in a relationship.
the best part? when rhett instead of winning his third world champion title, decided to abandon the race and run towards summer, I really exploded there, I also had heart eyes for them hahaha.

She is made for me. And I am made for her. Two halves of the same apple.

- I want to end this review by saying that if you haven't read this book yet, read it, because in my opinion it deserves much more than what it has, even though you may read some slightly negative reviews, ignore this thing and read it because this book is unique, and I am really so happy to have been able to read it.
