That Eighteenth Summer | Raine O'Tierney

1 post | 1 read

The summer of 2003, Ollie Hannigan's eighteenth summer, changes everything... Ollie knows exactly where he's going and what his plan is: get a smokin' hot girlfriend (so she can cry over him when he enlists), join the military, work his way up to Army Ranger, and finally earn he respect of his big brother, Benjam. But everything changes when a military car pulls up in front of the Hannigan household. Now Ollie's world is in chaos. His friends have abandoned him, his plans are falling through left and right, and he doesn't know what he wants in life anymore. Plus, as if he wasn't already confused enough, his brother's best friend, Luca Santini, has caught Ollie's eye. While Luca may be smokin' hot, he's definitely not the girlfriend Ollie was expecting!

That Eighteenth Summer | Raine O'Tierney

so-so

I loved so many parts of this story.
It's a queer romance! With a disabled vet! The author portrays grief in a realistic way! And the couple is cute! But....
The ending felt rushed and I really wanted to see the characters grow more as individuals and as a couple. The twist in the final chapters was so surprising it didn't feel real. So while it was enjoyable, I couldnt recommend it without caveats.
