I love Meg Cabot's wit and charm in the other novels that I have read of hers.  The insta-romance was hard to believe in this book.  It almost seemed like Drew defaulted to being with Bree.  He was grumpy towards her at the beginning and too quickly wanted to date her?  Not my kind of thing.  I definitely prefer more of a slow burn with long lingering glances.

lighthearted

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 which

did 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 blurb given by the back of the book is a bit misleading. The book spends a lot of time on the time period leading up to the hurricane. The aftermath is discussed but the looking after pets left behind (as described in the blurb) is a very small part. Otherwise, a generally enjoyable book.

The characters and plot just didn't resonate with me, romance was a little too cheesy...

Quick read but not a Meg Cabot fave.
