Review:

This is a good book. I have read it in audiobook form, so there isn’t much to say because of the number of times I have read it. I will be reading one of Kasie West’s books next, too. My favorite is the second one in this series. I absolutely love the cab gets in this book and how relatable the make character is. He really can’t handle feelings which I love, and it makes me very happy. I like that it is set in a beach town and I get to feel like I am somewhere new. I am not such a big fan of the whole friends to lovers thing, but overall it is very good. I like that the main character is a wrist and that everything works out with her. There is excellent disability representation in her mom, who has significant social anxiety. Overall a good light book with some cute aspects to it.

Trigger Warnings:
Parent with agoraphobia & anxiety

Synopsis From Book:

Seventeen-year-old Abby Turner’s summer isn’t going the way she’d planned. She has a not-so-secret but definitely unrequited crush on her best friend, Cooper. She hasn’t been able to manage her mother’s growing issues with anxiety. And now she’s been rejected from an art show because her work “has no heart.” So when she gets another opportunity to show her paintings, Abby isn’t going to take any chances. Which is where the list comes in. Abby gives herself one month to do ten things, ranging from face a fear (#3) to learn a stranger’s story (#5) to fall in love (#8). She knows that if she can complete the list, she’ll become the kind of artist she’s always dreamed of being. But as the deadline approaches, Abby realizes that getting through the list isn’t as straightforward as it seems . . . and that maybe—just maybe—she can’t change her art if she isn’t first willing to change herself.
