Book Review
ARC Read from Macmillan Audio via Net Galley
Rating: 4 stars?
Method of reading: audiobook via the Net Galley app
Prior thoughts: No way I’m getting approved for this one. Probably too late requesting and I’ve seen this book everywhere. It looks great.
During listening thoughts: Ok this is very very spicy, the sex scenes are very detailed and its a good portion of the book, so be aware if audiobooks with descriptive sex scenes make you uncomfortable, this might not be the one for you. Once I Put headphones on and made sure I was in the proper mood, it was all good.
Full Review:
I love this book for these reasons:
This was a great escape.
The characters are on vacation, but there’s actual descriptions of the location and details on the trip, making it feel like you as a reader are on the trip with the characters
I found the beginning to be funny, hopeful, but also drastic. There was a breakup, someone quitting, and then a trip. Then there is a lot of sex. Initially, this felt slightly thrown together with too much smut.
The characters are relatable
Then about 65% in, conflict started to genuinely build up and I got stressed!

Things that could have made this a 5 star read:
A bit more plot
Elsie to be less of a mess, like yall have been friends you’re whole life it shouldn’t be surprising that you love each other just be happy
