Overall Rating-3.5/5⭐️
Spice-🌶️
Plot- 3/5
Trigger warnings-lost at sea, mentions of parent death
Tropes-slow burn, one night stand, forced proximity
The cover of this book drew me in and the concept seemed interesting. To me it started pretty slow but once I got into it I really did enjoy it. Especially the last 20-30%. I didn’t see that coming at all. The idea of being lost at sea is terrifying but Zeke and Lexi held themselves together and balanced each other out. They both found out a lot about themselves and grew so much as people on that houseboat. Even though the majority of the book takes place within 2 weeks so much happens so it feels like so much longer. It was an easy pretty light read and I’m interested in reading more from Beth.

I didn’t like this as much as some of her other books, but it was a fairly engaging summer read. A ridiculous but entertaining premise, although the big “coincidence” near the end was so far fetched.

this was alright. really intriguing premise for a romance—a one-night-stand turns into a story of survival when the couple gets lost at sea together. i liked that this went outside the lines of a traditional romance plot—though it did seem like the two always had what they needed (food, in particular).
i can’t say i loved Lexi or Zeke—they were okay MCs, but the insta love didn’t have me fully convinced. i also feel like Lexi’s attachment to Mae felt off—a little too dependent? idk. i thought the twist at the end was dragged out for too long and i almost lost interest, but was ultimately happy with where it ended up.
not my favorite story but I’m glad i read it!
