Summer won't last forever.
Sage Byrd has lived in the coastal town of Spunes, Oregon (not to be confused with Forks, Washington) her entire life. She's learned to love her small world, with the misfit animals on her hobby farm, and her friendships with the town’s inhabitants. But when her 5-year relationship ends and her ex, town-golden-boy Ian, suddenly gets engaged, Sage needs a win—something that will convince everyone to stop pitying her all the time, and to put Ian in his place. The Festival of Spunes, the town’s annual summer competition, would be the perfect opportunity. She just needs a partner.
Fisher Lange was a hotshot chef in New York City until the loss of his sister left him numb, grieving, and responsible for his teenage niece Indy. When Fisher loses his Michelin star along with his love of cooking, his boss sends him and Indy to Spunes on a much-needed summer sabbatical to consult on a restaurant opening. But when clashes with the townspeople threaten his last chance to redeem himself and a kiss with his new neighbor Sage leads to dating rumors, a strategic alliance might just be the best way to turn things around.
A deal is struck. Sage will improve Fisher’s image in the eyes of the town and remove the roadblocks he is facing with the restaurant, and Fisher will be Sage’s partner for the competition. But as their pact quickly turns into steamy rendezvous, emotional wounds begin to heal, and the pair tries to savor every moment, they start to realize that summer is racing by much faster than they would like...
Filled with spicy summer fun, small-town charm, and Big Feelings, this highly anticipated romcom is Tarah DeWitt’s best yet.
"Simply unputdownable. A top read for me this year!" —Elsie Silver, USA Today bestselling author of Flawless
"DeWitt’s sprightly narrative is by turns funny and red-hot, as Sage and Fisher, who share a love of puns, develop some serious chemistry... This is a charmer." —Publishers Weekly

4.5 stars rounded up for goodreads. Okay why the hell did I was so long to read a Tarah Dewitt book. I found this book at the exact perfect time and it absolutely destroyed me. I was full on sobbing during multiple points during this book and the next one is going to destroy me even worse than this one. I loved Sage and Fisher so much 😭😭😭 Watching them fall in love knowing that Fisher and Indy had to leave at the end of the summer was so sad and so beautiful. I am so glad I finally tried this author and I can’t read to read more that she’s written because I loved this.

I'm so sad I didn't like this one as much as I'd hoped. There was a lot of potential in both the premise and the characters, but ultimately, everything felt very surface-level. I was bored. I didn't care. We were introduced to side characters whose names I immediately forgot and then I was confused when they came back around. The big emotional moments fell flat because there wasn't much depth to character development or plot struggle, so it wasn't really a payoff. It felt like so much was going on, but also nothing happened. By the end, I honestly only finished the last 20% because I felt obligated to see I through. I'm hoping this was the author's debut and her writing has developed a bit more; I so desperately want to try another of her books in the hopes of a better outcome. (Editing to add: I'm sure it didn't help that I'm coming off reading a 5-star, life-changing book and I couldn't help but compare the two and this just didn't measure up to me.)
