Was this book good? No! Did I have fun reading it simply because everyone was so dumb in it? YES!!!
As a native floridian it was so funny that our main character was so unaware and so unprepared for the category 5 hurricane whichdid not actually destroy anything really despite it being so hyped up

I am a longtime Cabot fan but this is my first time reading one of her adult novels! I was initially going to give this one 3 stars, and then I started reading other Goodreads reviews and remembered how incredibly irritating it was that Bree refused to evacuate during a Category 5 hurricane. Setting that aside (although I fully understand how impossible it was for some readers to ignore such a privileged stance on natural disasters), I still enjoyed Cabot's charming writing style. Both Bree and Drew annoyed me, but the larger cast of characters were fun and gave the book a ton of small-town charisma. The romance was not the most compelling and the book should have been much shorter than it was. Overall, the setting was the best part of the book for me, so I think the series itself shows promise (let's leave hurricanes out of the next book, shall we?).

The characters and plot just didn't resonate with me, romance was a little too cheesy...
Quick read but not a Meg Cabot fave.

I enjoyed this book but I feel like there is not much more to say about it.
It is your standard good romance book including:
- a handsome playboy
- small town gossip
- lots of pets
- beautiful scenery (I really want to go to Little Bridge Island now - or at least to any coastal small town)
- a strong and cool female protagonist who though sometimes obnoxiously independent is still very lovable and only annoying on very few occasions
- rich backgrounds but still down to earth people who help the poor
- famous parents
- toxic rich ex-boyfriends
- lots of dogs and other pets (I know I said that already but seriously, it's like the main plot point of the book)
- a hurricane and 'cut of from other people' experience
If this sounds like something you would enjoy, go ahead and read it ;) It was really enjoyable but if you're not into standard tropy romance books you will probably not like this one either.
