Highly enjoyable. I didn’t really know what to expect going in but the book really was fun. I liked the whole concept of it and there were lots of really fun and funny moments. I will say it did somewhat surprise me with just how hefty some of the content was but I think it kind of all added to the atmosphere. 

I’m not sure I can say the book hooked me and made me want to go back for it but then again maybe that’s not fair considering it’s my second book back from a reading slump and I did actually read like 70% of it in one day.

What I’d say is not one to reread but I’m not mad that I have read it the once.

This is a great book to grab for summer beach reading. I have enjoyed Swan's previous works and this one does not disappoint. Set in New York and the Mediterranean, the settings sizzle just as much as the plot itself. This is a nice beach romance with an unexpected mystery as well.
Thank you to Netgalley for an ARC of this novel.
