in this story we follow this young girl named Beyah, who lives in a trailer park with an addict for a Mother. i read this book because i have no intention of supporting the author and i wanted to get rid of this book off my shelf despite my liking towards it.

But as the summer progresses, and she lets her guard down little by little, Beyah realizes that there’s so much about Samson she doesn’t know. But when she forms an alliance with a cute groomsman, she's at risk of losing both the game … and her heart. Even though pieces of me resemble pieces of them, I’ve never felt like I’ve belonged to either one of them.I think when you’re the worst of people, finding the worst in others becomes a survival tactic of sorts. There are so many touching moments throughout out and even more so as the storyline takes hold, there are some red flags but still you don’t want to face the reality of what’s to come.

So they agree to be together for the summer and that in the end he will answer everything she wants to know.

I was wondering what kind of secrets Samson could be holding onto and was close to getting frustrated because so many times in books we see people keeping secrets and there is this back and forth with one character trying to keep secrets and the other trying to find them.

but i think this story explores a lot of great topics that surround people who are in the vulnerable transition period between high school and university, between youth and adulthood. Worse still, his father is married and has to share the beach house they are staying in for the summer with his wife and stepsister. Tell me this doesn't sound fantastic: "Told over the course of six years and one weekend, Every Summer After is a big, sweeping nostalgic look at love and the people and choices that mark us forever. because of this, he isn’t aware of a lot that is happening considering that beyah barely speaks to him, and it made me sad. something i loved was how he didn’t want to hold her back and have beyah put her life on pause, and was willing to give her up if it meant that she could live her life rather than waiting around for him.

The atmosphere of the novel, set mostly on this wild Greek island, echoes strongly the classical tragedies of Greece. he just went along with sara and i just loved how he it was clear was willing to do anything for sara. It’s a little slow and a little repetitive but it captures the feeling of a long, lazy summer of opening up and falling in love perfectly, and has just enough emotional turbulence to keep you interested without feeling overblown and completely unrealistic. She's 19 years old and after tragedy strikes with her mother, she moves from her trailer in Kentucky to a beautiful beach house in Texas.

If you've been thinking of reading this book then I highly recommend you RUN DON'T WALK and start this book now! Picking up a Hoover novel means you’re going to be sucked into a cliched yet somehow still original page-turner that you’ll read in one sitting. But with their upcoming futures sending them to opposite ends of the country, the two decide to maintain only a casual summer fling. They are having a summer romance but they know they'll be parting ways at the end of the summer and damn. Marcos looks at Sara and says, “This would have been a great marriage proposal moment with all these free fireworks in the background.Yet, she can’t deny that there’s something about Samson that intrigues her and the connection between them is too intense to ignore. It didn’t hit quite as emotional as I’m used to from this author but it does have a twist towards the end in classic CoHo style. I hate it, because I find myself wishing that the entirety of humanity would suffer just a tiny amount more than they do.
