Only a few steamy scenes and one spice scene. The scenes are pretty sweet and romantic, nothing too graphic.

My Review:
Delfina Silva-Miller lives in New York City living out her dream of becoming a comedian. When everything in her life seems to go wrong, she is forced to go back to her hometown to live with her nana until she can get back on her feet.
When she arrives home in Evergreen, New Jersey, she bumps into her high school bully, Eddie Rodriguez. Del and Eddie have a lot of complicated history together that wasn't ever resolved. But they've both changed so much, can they finally get along?
This past and present timeline, summer romance was such a fun time! The writing was quick and easy to get through. This is a really great beach read that I will be recommending to anyone that needs a good book to read on vacation. There was not as many summer vibes as I was hoping but I still really enjoyed it. I wish there were more past timeline chapters and where they were placed seemed a little disorganized to the point where it was a bit hard to follow the references to the past from the present timeline. The things happening to both of the main characters in the book made them feel more real and got me attached to the characters individually AND together. I definitely recommend if you're looking for a fun and easy romance!
