Review: Meet Me at Midnight by Jessica Pennington

Meet Me at Midnight by Jessica Pennington

Blurb from Goodreads:

They have a love-hate relationship with summer.

Sidney and Asher should have clicked. Two star swimmers forced to spend their summers on a lake together sounds like the perfect match. But it’s the same every year—in between cookouts and boat rides and family-imposed bonfires, Sidney and Asher spend the dog days of summer finding the ultimate ways to prank each other. And now, after their senior year, they’re determined to make it the most epic summer yet.

But their plans are thrown in sudden jeopardy when their feud causes their families to be kicked out of their beloved lake houses. Once in their new accommodations, Sidney expects the prank war to continue as usual. But then she gets a note—Meet me at midnight. And Asher has a proposition for her: join forces for one last summer of epic pranks, against a shared enemy—the woman who kicked them out.

Their truce should make things simpler, but six years of tormenting one another isn’t so easy to ignore. Kind of like the undeniable attraction growing between them.

My Review:
 

This was so much enemies to lovers that it was almost impossible to imagine because these two characters had harmed each other so much . . . I think the sequencing was a bit off in how the story was told.  Certain parts of the past were told interspersed with the present but it didn't always work for me.  I liked the characters but I would have preferred more about their past and their motivations.  This is a sweet read and definitely a good summer read, however!

Meet Me at Midnight comes out next month on April 7, 2020, and you can purchase HERE.  If you want a quick summer YA read, you should check this one out!

Here's the problem with knowing someone since you were ten and vacationing with them since you were thirteen: they know way too much. They've seen things. The neurotic things you only did once. The embarrassing things you wish you could forget. Usually it's people we love who know these seemingly harmless things. But when it's someone you hate . . . those tiny bits of your past become the ultimate ammunition. And with the right arsenal, it's war. The war I call summer last exactly fifty-six days. It doesn't end, and it has only two sides: min and his.
