I had a list and he was not on it.
So far this summer, my three closest friends have all gotten kissed and found love. What did I get? Zane—the most conceited, annoying, and immature guy I knew. Sure, other girls might think he was totally hot, but that was because he didn’t purposefully drive them them insane.I must have been crazy to let him talk me into helping him with his crazy plan. … crazy to let him talk me into helping him with his crazy plan. Spending so much time with him had unexpected and dangerous consequences.
In my defense, I had no idea that Zane could do more than make my eye twitch—that he’d make my pulse race and my heart pound. And as always, he knew exactly how to push my buttons.
Thanks to him, my goal was was simply to get through this summer without getting kissed.
Because I was pretty sure if we did, we’d never be frenemies again.

(3.5 Stars)
I’ve loved getting to know this group of friends throughout this series, and I love how each book focuses on just one couple, while still allowing the reader a glimpse of beloved characters from previous stories. The beach setting is an especially great bonus.
Piper and Zane have a very salty relationship. They’re always zinging, teasing, putting down, and annoying each other, but when push comes to shove, they’re there for each other. When Zane comes up with a plan and needs Piper’s help, she’s hesitant, but little do they know what they’re in for.
This whole idea of having a summer of first kisses was Piper’s idea, so it was fun to see it all come back around for her to have her turn. However, this story had more angst and drama than the others and Zane and Piper seemed a little too opposite for this to work, but I’m still hoping for the best for them.

Piper’s goal for the summer after high school graduation was to get three of her friends to have their first kiss. They did, but when Piper realizes she pretty much had nothing to do with getting it to happen, the couples got together on their own and now she’s the only one in their group without a boyfriend, she gets a little down. Zane has a plan to help a couple of new kids to their group who seem to like each other get together and he needs Piper to help him make it happen.
This was not my favorite of the series. Although everyone involved has graduated high school, I felt there was too much teenage angst for me. I really didn’t see Piper and Zane getting together because they were SO opposite in so many ways, and he struck me as a little too immature.
It was fun to read that the previous pairings were still as much in love as before, and I like how this group of friends have been friends for a long time. This is part of a YA series that should probably be read in order because it mentions relationships that happened in the previous three books. This is a clean romance.
I really enjoyed this YA romance. Zane and Piper were hilarious, They say hate and love are on a thin line.
When this series started I was not expecting the whole series to be a friends to lovers trope, but it sure has been fun. It was easy to see that Zane and Piper would go together as the perfect opposites attract. I loved their teasing back and forth. This was a sweet story. It was fun getting to know Piper better. I wish we’d heard Zane’s voice as well. I was only expecting a series about the four girls, but am glad Brooklyn has been added to the line up.
Fun and flirty
-“You know what? I’m not even going to worry about you having Zane in here.” “Why not?” Zane’s offended tone made me laugh. “Because Tate knows I’m closer to killing you than kissing you right now. And that is one hundred percent always the case.” Zane smirked. “Well, be careful. We’re going to be spending a lot of time together and you might just find out how irresistible I am.”-
This is part of a series and best read in order due to already-formed relationships being mentioned throughout the book and many different characters. It’s a clean teen/ya romance story and suitable for all ages.
I enjoyed the light, flirty comments and camaraderie between the characters. It was a very fun read and I look forward to reading Brooklyn’s story next. Recommended.
