This book is filled with the most flawed characters, hence making it the most perfect, angst-filled, and realistic love story. Really makes me wanna throw my panties at your face and let you go full korean buffet on my lower parts.

I loved the main characters, the fast-paced plot, the smut, the range of suspects, the writing was objectively TB's best compared to her other romcoms and older work, I feel like TB has worked hard over the years to establish herself as a great and reliable romcom author. For those of you who LOVED IHOS, I think you will definitely like this too. Miss Taylor Bassey is a 2nd-grade teacher who decides to take her heartbroken brother (he's a panda caretaker, whose panda just died, #RIPBARTHOLOMEW) on vacation to Cape Cod. Upon arrival, minutes into settling into their rental home, Taylor spies two peepholes in the bathroom which is creepy in itself, but it gets worse when she goes downstairs to find a dead body... which happens to be none other than THE PROPERTY OWNER!!! *dun dun dunnnn* Our little Taylor is a crime podcast enthusiast, having listened to her favorite show for 7 years, she takes it upon herself to do a little investigating as she's not satisfied with the police's suspect. 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. jude; best thing in the entire book. he’s taylor’s brother, taylor always adores and supports him and i can clearly understand why, he is the cutest person to exist. i mean while taylor and myles were arguing he was constantly talking about how he likes his burritos 😭 it was so cute watching him get annoyed at the thought of her being married, which caused him to interrogate her on who she was on vacation with (it’s her brother). poor baby was confusing his heartburn with jealousy 🥹😌

My favorite part ended up being the murder mystery. Tessa really nailed it with the plot twists and the suspects and the rich characters. I kept coming up with theories that were shut down every time, lol. Never laughed harder in my life than them getting interrupted every time they came close to having sex. Don’t think about how satisfying it would be. Don’t think about looking her in the eye when I come and knowing it serves a purpose beyond physical pleasure. Don’t think of her wrapping her thighs tighter, tilting her hips and praising me for my healthy swimmers. Here's what's difficult: she is getting better and less cringe as time goes by when it comes to romance, but for a muder mystery? This was so so incredibly and torturously:

His dirty talk made my skin crawl, and I can assure you, I've read a lot of disturbing books in my life, but a little few things are as concerning as a slimy guy written like he's hot.While I do find Myles and Taylor delightful, I only come around to it at the end of the book. The murder mystery at hand was supposed to allow readers to see them outside of a completely romantic context but it was so hard to hit it off with them at the first start with Myles' lewd thoughts and alpha male behavior that always come off as demanding. Like, I know we are doing grumpy-sunshine here but thanks, I've met better Tessa Bailey's hero. And Taylor? is sweet, but also as scatterbrained. Her sudden objective of self-discovery by deciding to investigate a murder case did not sit well with what was supposed to be and what was conveyed. I've stopped reading after they started getting too fond of each and the unsexiest dirty talk made an appearence once again, so I can't tell you if it got better after this.

I have to let go of her hand to reach for my wallet, but I keep an eye on it as I pay for the ice cream, so I can collect it again as soon as possible. how can insta-love not exist when myles cums before taylor because she admitted she could ‘love him so easily’. i was freaking out because i expected him to do the cliché 'pulling away from her because he scared of feelings blah blah' but then he thinks this—

I really wanted to finish this book so I could write a proper rant-view for it, but I don't hate myself enough to force myself to go through another 70% of it, so...DNF, meet My Killer Vacation.

Perfect for listening on the go! I haven't had the best time with previous TB new releases, it seems like everyone and their dog loved It Happened One Summer, but not me. Although I liked both main characters, their choices/how the book progressed in the final third of the book weren't enjoyable for me. But this book right here? This belongs in the TB hall of fame. In all fairness, I do think Tessa Bailey had the potential to write a good mystery romance as this combination is not something we often had. I started the book with the hope that I will come around to enjoy this especially after being so disappointed with Hannah and Fox's story — owing to the fact that Tessa Bailey knows how to hook her reader. It always felt like you're being enchanted and this book is no less the same.

This is more of a insta-lovish trope but I didn´t mind it that much here, we still got a bit of tension out of it. Work it tight, baby. Baby. Perfect for me. Jesus Christ. Don’t you ever get hurt on me again. Don’t you ever.” Yes, there is! The second book in Bellinger Sisters series by Tessa Bailey is titled Hook, Line and Sinker. However, this book follows the Piper’s sister, Hannah and her love interest, Fox. Is Piper In Hook, Line and Sinker?If you’ve been on Bookstagram or BookTok in the last year, you might have seen the name Tessa Bailey floating around along with her latest hit book, It Happened On Summer. and the smut? where's that guy from a few years who was squirting lemon juice in his eyes for clout? that's sounding really appealing right now. We experienced more in five days than most people experience in a year together. We got to know each other’s strengths and weaknesses and fears and dreams. Fast. And I’m drawn to every single piece of you. Everything that makes you Taylor. By the grace of God, you’re drawn to me, too, or you wouldn’t be halfway into my lap right now in a McDonald’s parking lot. Wave at the nice family, sweetheart.❞ - this entire book only spanned over 5 days but it just goes to show if you write insta-lust well it just becomes believable. I felt their love and I definitely felt their sexual chemistry all the way to my own womb. taylor is also so crazy protective and sweet, especially to her brother. at first i wasn't sure how I felt about her, but her sunny personalty was the perfect contrast to myles's cloudy disposition 💖
